I hate waiting
 
Anyone else out there waiting on parts from manufacturers, in particular Koni and APR. I ordered my APR turbo-back stealth exhaust almost 3.5 weeks ago and still no notification of shipment. The same goes for my Koni coilovers, ordered them about 1.5 weeks ago and as yet nothing. Is there that much of a demand out there that they can't keep up with orders. Both these companies are, from what I can gather, well developed and been around for a while. So why is everything like it is on back-order, I would expect well developed companies to have some idea of what their supply and demand chain trends are and keep them under control [:@]

How about most of these companies don't machine/fab their own parts, they contract out the work to other shops with low bid. Being it is such a limited market for these parts are not a priority. They make so many, sell so many and the cycle repeats itself.

I'm waiting on the Koni coilovers too, and I've been waiting MUCH longer than you, so no bitching! I was told that the expected shipping date is June 8. I agree that waiting sucks.[:'(]

Cheers!
