HeHe....I hear you.
We had expected 1-2 weeks when I placed the order. It ended up being more like 2 months. They blamed it on racing season.
And Nick noted...

I've always had a real problem with that excuse. Like the racing season came up unexpectedly.
With umptyjillion combinations of shock lengths, spring weights, balls/bushings and even shock body material, neither Dennis or I stock these coilovers in advance. What we do have is a toe in the door at the GAZ factory, and Dennis' and my combined orders do give us some clout regarding haste, but every GAZ order is a custom order and I don't think they treat racing season like WalMart treats the Christmas season--they don't hire and lay off staff with the ebb and flow of seasonal orders.
And now and then they goof with their predictions. For example, GAZ doesn't wind its own springs and a delivery delay on some common weights was the source of one recent delay...perhaps that one was palmed off as a "racing season" issue, but I assure you that neither I nor Dennis have delayed getting orders processed because it was racing season.
I think what we've got is the fastest way to get GAZ shocks to your door. GAZ trusts Dennis (the US distributor), Dennis trusts me, and I trust you, and an order placed with Kinetic is in process at GAZ the following day...and when completed, it's FedExed to you direct from the factory.
