I used chalk to see if the tires are rolling. I marked up to the tread and the it was still there after the run. Im running on 9.5" wide rims with 255/45/18. I know those tires aren't wide enough for those rims but I'm going to burn them up more before I go to a 275.
What do you guys think a good alignment would be for a street/autocross setup. I don't drive the car to work every day, I have a focus for that. I only play with the mustang on weekends and race it.

 

Good news, bad news... which do you want first???

Good news is I found out what the hold up is. Apparently there is an issue with the swaybar mounting bracket being out of specifcation and Koni Holland is fighting with the supplier over it. Koni-NA is doing their level best to make Koni Holland get something done. So it's not like we're being ignored, and it's really because Koni won't build the struts with a part they feel is not up to scratch.

The bad news, ETA is now (****-it).... January.

Back in the good news column... Those of you with struts on backorder will be sure to get them when they come in. They have no excuse to underestimate the numbers that are already on order.

I know, not the news you wanted to hear, and not the news I wanted to hear (or give). But I thought I owed it to my customers who have been more than understanding to pass along the word I just got.

 

well I guess that is good news because I can't to pay for it right now anyways - LOL

 

I'd happily take the delay for the reason Koni is stating. They're being a responsible company and assuring their product is everything they say it is. Thumbs up to Koni.

 

I guess it's better than the alternative (though some don't think so who've been screaming on the 'net about it). I'd rather it just get fixed, just like everyone else--but it's better than having any issues!

 

Maybe they will make it up to the consumers who waited and offer a good deal (like last spring) once they hit the shelves!!

 

Don't hold your breath..... After all, there are so many on backorder they don't have much reason to cut the prices. It's still business you know.

 

Some for sale in the classifieds.

 

Have you heard anything new Sam?

 

Well sam has heard something new, and according to Koni, the front sports are being air shipped from holland by the end of next week. so looks like after my first track day, i have some parts to install.

for the record, i have had these on order (and rears in hand) since june

 

I got an email saying they would be at Koni NA by 3/31 and will start shipping soon after.

 

Nice! Finally get to put some new parts on the car.

 

Of coarse they are ready now, two weeks after I buy the tokicos. Oh well, maybe in a year or two.

 

I received a shipping notification today

 

YESSS it's like Christmas in April and instead of snow, there's pollen everywhere.

 

Attention Strano Performance folks waiting on their Koni's..... They came in and are being shipped out today/tomorrow/Wednesday.

*and* I have some sets left to move too!

 

 

got ym shipping notification as well. now i need to finally buy springs

 

Just got my set of Koni Sport Struts today! Ordered in July, received in April...nice work on Koni's part.

 

I just have to figure out where I'm getting this stuff installed and how much I should pay...
