Any suggestions now? Konis out of stock

[NeubJ]

I was ready to place my order today-Since hearing that shox.com was out. So I called them and a few other places-
eshocks, tirerack, gpd(no answer), shox.com and same story 6-8 weeks while others didnt have any time frame since they are coming from Holland.

Figures-

I really cant wait that long since my back struts are really weak now. And I dont want to wait that long to cause more damage to back end since I have been waiting long enough. (plus Im tired of my car handling like it is now)

So what can I do that will give me a decent ride with the Neuspeeds? Any other sites that someone may know of that carry konis for our year?
How much for revalved blistens and how long will that take to have them do it?
-Tirerack has the rear in stock but no fronts-others dont have rear or fronts.

I know I know most will say just wait but I have been waiting and the back end needs attention like right now.

if they have rears.. get them.. then tell them to ship the fronts for free when they get in stock!

Just be patient. If they have rears in stock, buy em. then get the fronts as they come in.

That would probly be the best way to do it with you current problem.

Hey, I was running with revalved front Bilsteins and rear standard Koni's. I mean I was planning to get rear revalved Bilsteins, but my car got wrecked before I got a chance. But I'll tell ya I had not reservations about how the combo performed with the koni's in the rear. So if you want to get revalved front Bilsteins, by all means do so. The revalved Bilsteins are better than all ready great koni's, so the revalved Bilsteins are worth the extra money. So it's not like your just paying extra to not wait for the Koni's to come from holland. You would be getting better struts for your extra money. And remember, if you every want to sell the rear koni's and go with revalved Bilstein rears as a latter date. If you put the rear koni's for sale here in the market place, you will sell them very very quickly, that is a fact.

PS, I could likely find a couple of other places that carry the koni's, but I can pretty much guarantee that they pull from the koni wherehouse for stock. We know what that means, 8 weeks from holland. Man that sucks.

It was like that when I bought them last summer. Shox, at first didn't have any front struts so I had to order the rear first, than a month or so later I ordered the front. In each case they shipping was good, only took like 3 maybe 4 days. I just hope they restock by fall, then I'll be ready to order some more.

They better be hear way before fall, I'm riding on front struts that are no longer working, and the rears are about to go. I wish I could find a place that had the fronts in. Would it be a bad idea to put the lowering springs and rear koni's in the back while I wait for the fronts to become available?

What is your current spring/strut setup?


I currently have lowering springs on konis in the back and monroe heavy duty in the front. (front are on order)
It road really nice the first few days. I was really happy. Now I notice alot more bounce and roughness from the front.
