Thank you. You finally answered the question I was asking - "any sources that stock BAT springs". If they don't stock them they obviously have them drop shipped and therefore that would not help me.
Thanks to all that tried to help. I already tried CTA before my post and SP is moving and I only received an automated email reply, no answer.

Just to put my 2 cents in this discussion, CTA was allowed reseller status from BAT mainly to sell to Canadian customers as their authorized dealer, but also to any customer any where in the world, if they (the customers) so choose to purchase from CTA. There are many cases where we have had stock on certain BAT items (not the springs as per this thread), but could not resell to our out of country customers because we already paid customs, duties, taxes, brokerage, shipping, etc. If we were to buy a product from BAT stock it here in Canada, then sell it back to say a US customer, we make nothing, in fact there would be cases we would lose money. Granted, push came to shove, we may do that to keep our customer(s) happy, but, just like with any business, we have to make a profit.

You may be right, but the point is that "BAT is the only supplier" does not, in itself, prove sufficiently that nobody else will have a BAT part in stock, as Chris' comments support.
Furthermore, if the point of your first post was that the odds were "miniscule," well, so what? I would agree. But the question was "who else sells these?" Stay on topic.

NOT to Highjack this thread  I have a Bat kit for sale in the classifieds. I had to wait 6 weeks for my kit. I put it on for about a week then took it back off. For my wants I figured out that even after it would have settled that it still wouldn't have been low enough for me. Let me know.

I saw your ad and considered contacting you, but I already have a set of Koni's waiting for the springs. I talked to BAT Thursday morning and was told that the springs had been made and were at their shipper, hopefully in by the middle of next week. Thanks everyone.

Well I'm looking to go with a Koni/Ground Control setup. So if you decide to change your mind we could probably work out a deal for your konis. Either way, Good Luck
