Tick not click. 1/4 inch (or more) may solve the issue. I hate the idea of raising up a car to prevent one scrap on the track. But it's a concern of his, so that is one way of preventing it from happening.

Randy, will putting these on a base c6 ruin the ride of the car? or can I wait to upgrade the sway bars later in the summer?

I got this update from Randy thru email on July 9:

I was told July 16th they are expected in their warehouse. That was about 2 weeks ago, so I'm trying to firm that up again this week.

Sorry guys,
I was on holiday for the 4th, followed up by being sick. Sick in July sucks......

Front shocks are done and sitting in the warehouse. Bushings and boxes are here. The rears are scheduled for the 16th. I will know for sure on Monday if that date will be met.

Nobody is looking forward to getting these more then me

Glad you are feeling better Randy! Summers are short enough without forced downtime!

Guys and Gals of DRM Bilstein group buy v6.0

I have received notice that the earliest we will see the rear shocks is late this month or early September. After hours on the phone with their sales team, I have heard all the ins and outs of building shocks on a large scale. They are working 4 shifts, 24 hours a day and 7 days a week trying to keep up with demand at the plant. But still behind on production dates. The news saddens me, but they (we) will not be hanging out to dry, as all of us are working hard to make it happen. If there was more that I could do to speed this up, I would in a heartbeat. But at this point my hands are tied.

Randy Rippie
Also I have been getting a ton of calls and emails about getting more shocks. We have 100 more sets coming down the pipeline, at this point no ETA.
