Default Koni Str.Ts worth waiting for?

I ordered a set of Koni Str.Ts about 2 weeks ago from the WS6 store and was told it would be about 2-4 weeks. Today I got an email saying they aren't getting them until the end of April. I was hoping to do shocks and drop springs by the end of March.

Should I just cancel them and go with Bilstein HDs or does anyone know somewhere that has the Koni's in stock?

We're waiting for a big brown truck to bump our dock in the next couple of weeks. We will be making an announcement as soon as it does. Be watching this section

Well, I will most likely be cancelling this order due to the fact my rear shocks are pretty much shot and I don't want to wait another 2 months to replace them, so I'm interested in hearing what kind of special you will be having.

IMO, just get the Bilsteins.
Plus they're about $20 less.

hope it's not some BMR spring / Koni STR.T combo, cause I've already bought my BMR springs (back in the beginning of January from WS6store) and plan to order shocks in the next few weeks.

Not if you know where to look.

I found a site (that is a Honda-Tech site sponsor and has an A+ rating with the BBB, they aren't a sponsor here so I won't even hint at there web address) that I could order a set of the Koni STR.T's for a SHIPPED price of $310.82 and thats a good 50 bucks cheaper then the Bilstein set.

I went from 100k mile DeCarbon shocks with Strano springs to Str.t with Strano springs. I've come to conclusion it was a waste of time and money. I feel no difference (street wise) and I'm in the process of a warranty replacement from Koni because one squeeks horribly.

This is in reference to fronts only.
