That is what he told me... so maybe he told me so that they look like the good guys when they come in really early??? ------------------ Steve Chang 99 Silver SVT #196 SVT/SHO Society of West Michigan SVT Division, Treasurer, Web Designer All Mods on my Page My Mods

Depend on when you ordered. He told me he will only be getting 4 sets or something like that in next week. Koni couldn't fill the complete order. Those of us (like me) who ordered later will have to wait I guess

Sorry guys, didn't even think that they wouldn't be able to fill the demand.

Anyone ever run Koni's without changing springs? I have no interest in lowering the car, but for $500, I'm mighty interested in the Konis.
I've already plowed too much snow with the car as low as it is stock, and scraped the bumper pretty bad...

And all 2nd gen tours get the same koni's, no differences between GL and SVT. I wanted to improve the handling of my 1995 mystique GS --- I've got E0 wheels, but the suspension needs work. If I were to get koni struts would I need (#8710-1293) for the rear and (#8710-1294) for the front?. Do I need to worry about different part numbers for the springs as well? Thanks,

1293 for the front and 1294 for the rear. They don't list Eibachs as an option for your car but H&R's are available for the 95-97 Mystique. Visit www.shox.com and click on Catalog/Application Guide to find everything you need to know about spring potions and part numbers.

But Koni is out of struts for the Tour til April 20th. They are raising prices in May. You have to order now (and pay) to get the $499 price and wait til April 20th to get them. But you won't be able to get them anywhere else either so you might want to do this now.

So Koni is really out of stock, huh?? Damn, I thought it was some customer service ploy to make shox.com seem like the good guys when the shocks arrive early... Oh well, they are still a great place, but Koni sux on supplying vendors... ------------------ Steve Chang 99 Silver SVT #196 SVT/SHO Society of West Michigan SVT Division, Treasurer, Web Designer All Mods on my Page My Mods
