I ordered Eibachs directly from the factory and got them post haste. You will love them.

Well. I threw in the towel and switched to the Eibachs. They are shipping immediately.

I am almost there. Probally after 1/Jan. Will be going with the Eibach 3" leveling kit. Just need to find a installer. Any suggestions in Orlando Fl area? How much should it cost? I have no idea.

I ordered the Eibach Pro truck 2.0 coilovers today fron The Tire Rack, got the email that they will be here TUESDAY, 3 days!! now that's fast! I already put the rear ones on, and they made a huge difference. I would have used S3 but their price was to high.

If you get them from The Tire Rack they will suggest installers in your area, even ship to them in your name.

IMO most people wouldn’t be able to notice the difference between the 2 brands in ride quality on and off road.

FYI, just got an in-stock alert from Bilstein Lifts. They have a limited number of the Bilstein 5100’s in stock. I ordered a pair.

$169.20 for a pair.

Was that the rear or fronts? I got the fronts right away from S3 but my rears are backordered 4-6 weeks.

It looks like Summit has the rear 5100 shocks in stock (16+ in stock). I'm thinking I should order a pair as the FX4 shocks have been really irritating me now that our roads are getting to look more like the moon after the rain here. Potholes are opening up everywhere.

Just got the Bilsteins, rears, from Stage 3 today! Can't wait to install them. If anyone else is still waiting then this could be good news for yours too!

Eibachs (and Bilsteins) have a lifetime warranty.

You should be able to easily get a replacement.

Actually, I think that Eibachs is a 1 million mile warranty, so not quite "Lifetime".

Either way you should be covered.
