they normally sell out pretty fast, so i believe that they do a pre-order/waiting list thing for the next shipment coming across like a month before they arrive.

im not certain tho, so feel free to correct me if im wrong. your best bet is to call/email them tho to know for sure.

i ordered mine on 2/7 thinking i would get them in the next week or 2. i got an email a couple days ago saying the new shipment will be in on 3/10 then i have to wait for them to be shipped. i wish they would have put something on there site saying it would take this long. i would have ordered something different.

They're pretty much the most popular coilovers out right now, they sell out fast, and so you must preorder then, if you wait you will have to wait longer. So yes there is a waiting list you pay and wait.

Why not just buy KTS coilovers from SPLparts?Or Dmax from FRsport and other shops?

Save up or buy KTS, $1000, just like PBMs.

Or do the preorder with PBM, driving stock height won't kill you. :P

PBM's are the current fad coilovers. They seem to be as good or better than many ~$1000 coils. I have feeling that Fortune Auto will be the next fad coil. I went with Stance LX+, mainly bc I got awesome pricing on them from 240sxmotoring and bc in their price range, they fit what I wanted for the car.

Most people hear from one person that there junk and it spreads like wildfire...

I have track series... got them in early 08 and have beaten on them hard...lots of turns couple autox's... and ive put 30k miles on them... NOTHING and i repeat NOTHING has happened to them.... Last week i rebuilt them (only bc i had 30 k on them) and everything was still perfect...

love love LOVE when people talk outta there a$$ about something they have never owned. <- thats not towards anyone here but... Megans get a -rep from everybody buying coilovers for the name brand. Just because there not 1400 stances or w.e dosnt mean there junk

S13, got them for $876. You'll have to contact vendors and see what they can do for you though. I also purchased several other items at the same time so they gave me a better discount than if I had just bought the coilovers.

i understand that and i agree. i just assumed that if you were considering pbm coilovers you woudl look to something similar in the price bracket. megans will work fine for a car that is mostly dd'ed. but i would have thought you'd consider stance, kts, fortune auto, etc. just my thought process anyways
