You are right about the delays. We had to test all of the different vanagon springs to decide on best specs, plus they then lost the models we were using and we had to get more. Then I had the syncro springs. The 2WD prototypes WILL be done in 1 week, and some people WILL have them then! The production springs WILL be available in 6-8 weeks = mid-june-july. They have added a new shift at the manufacturer cutting the lead time in half almost.

You can reserve a set now at: http://www.concentric.net/~Sxs/springs.shtml Steve
