Pm sent back. I have to ask you call me. I can't call everyone who just wants me to. Them calling me shows interest enough to take the time. It's just too easy for folks to waste time picking my brain when it's all on me to make the time to call, pay for the call, and give the advice for free. Sadly, it's happened before.

I'm not saying you will, it's just a policy I have to stick with. I will return the call if I can't answer.

By the time you posted on the board made a PM and waited for a reply I think you could have called lol

Same gives good SOLID no crap advice and always is great and takes the time to explain everything. Don't hesitate just call him You will not regret it.

Except I've got no choice but to multi-task these days.... What makes you guys think when I'm typing that I don't have other things going on??

I did call yesturday left a VM called today a few times before making this post!

Any way after i got the PM Replied by Sam - i called him and he answered and answered my Q's

And now im ordering my Koni's and prb from him - Just sucks that Koni's are about a month out.....

Coolformula - Why do you think i want to talk to Sam? Because he knows his **** and gives out good advise

Ive been on this form long enough to know who to talk to in certin area's of the car.....Like if you need help on the suspension area you talk to Sam and if you need help with your supercharger you talk to Bob @ EPP and what do they get from me for helping answer my Q's is my business! $$$$

Yep.... due in around the end of April. Happens a few times a year, just never in the middle of winter when it'd be better.

So it sounds like the revalved Bilsteins are a long wait. I recieved the springs from you last week and I'll probably just get something else if they aren't available by next paycheck. Whats the next recommendation for street/auto-x? (less street, more A-X)

Koni's are my first recommendation and they're what's on my car. Going the other way, then it'd be KYB AGX's.

Whats the difference between the 4/3 and 4/4? I'm assuming they are the dual adjustable comp/reb Konis?

found answer on another post.
The Koni 4/4s are all adjustable on the car. the rear shocks with the 4/3s have to be removed to adjust.

You beat me to it! I got the 4/4 shocks. If you are spending that much, wait a little longer and the 4/4. Lowering the back seat and turning a **** is so much easier that having to jack the car up and take the shock off. Just my .02
