Got mine via Fedex this morning! Mine were on order for about 8 months as well. Tomorrow ought to be exciting - replace a ball joint, attempt to fix water leak, and install Konis!

So Mark, are you gonna throw this thing in the corners now?
Those shocks are the bomb for our cars.
Enjoy.

Hi Alec, I called Koni about the 1st week of May and was told they they would start filling back orders next week. I said that's great, then she told me the first back orders they would be filling were from May of 2010 (if you can believe that). I really expected them to be a month or so later than when they arrived. Call Sam Strano or Koni (800-922-2616), I bet they can tell you! I think I'm gonna get to put them on tomorrow, I'll report back here with what I think!
