Koni's have arrived

OK, right as I was leaving the shop today, a delivery truck came by with a pallet full of Koni's!!!
We have not had time to check them yet, but tomorrow we will check them out. We need to test fit a set on an L-body before we can go ahead and give our complete spring order to Eibach.
We plan to have everything in place and ready for delivery by the end of next week. Once we get all the pre-orders out, we will put the new Koni's in the on-line catalog. I appreciate everyone's patience since it's been almost a year since we started this whole thing.
Thanks,
Cindy

Just an update.
We have the Koni's, but we are waiting on the perches from Koni.
They called last week and said they would be shipped Monday and we would have them Wed.
Then we need to test fit with some eibach coilover springs to check height, then off to the pre-paid guys. After that we will add them to the catalog for sale to the public.
The Koni's with the coilover set-up are height adjustable with the threaded sleeves, BTW
Unfortunatly they are YELLOW in color not the old orange colors
Later,
Cindy

Update,
all the shocks/struts are here. The coilover sleeves etc are here and look GREAT. I'm just waiting on the rest of our order of spring from Eibach, then the first 10 pre orders will go out. After that, they will be available to the public. We can sell them without springs too if need be.
Thanks,
Cindy

These are a true coil-over setup for all four corners correct? L-Body? Using Koni shocks and Eibach springs? What kind of pricing are we looking at for a full set?

Thank you.

Yes, these are true coilovers using the yellow SPA1 struts/shocks which are even better in dampning than the sp1's that were used before. They have the really nice Koni threaded sleeves, and we are using coilover springs from Eibach only. You will have several choices on spring rates etc... When they get to the catalog sometime next week, we will probably sell the struts seperately, the shocks seperately and then springs seprately so it will be easier for people to buy on line and get whatever spring rates they want, and people with coil overs can just order springs from us too.
I think the price will be near this, but not set in stone yet since we have not recieved all our springs from Eibach yet.
struts $445 pair
shocks $315 pair
spring approx. $99 per pair
so you can put together a complete set of coilovers for the L-body for about $950 a set.

Looks like I'll be getting something for Christmas after all, now I just need to get a L-body that's worthy of awesome suspension.

When are you going to know about the spring rates and firm prices on the springs? If they are as inexpensive as you told me they would be, I might order two sets. How hard would the springs be to change out? I can't wait to get mine!!

Like I said the spring prices will be around $99 for a pair. Now the original 10 preorders, will get a deal on their springs, because of their patience and helpfulness in getting this project done, so Kevin if you want more than four springs, just let us know. I sent you an email, hopefully you got it, if not let me know and I will resend it, about the spring rates.
I need to contact several people still, I might do it this weekend since I didn't find the time last week.
Thanks,
Cindy

So will these be available for some time, or is it a limited order?

Cindy,
Please let us know when the springs are for sale to the public. I have been wanting a set of these for a long time. Also let us know how it turns out when installed on an L-body. Will this setup be listed differently in the online catalog and are the regular koni's a thing of the past? Keep us posted. Thanks, Pat
