DiscoStudd Posted March 24, 2005 Report Posted March 24, 2005 **UPDATE 5/6/05** Springs are discontinued! Read my post below... For those who don't remember, I ordered up a pair of Suspension Techniques front lowering springs from JC Whitney back around the 10th of February. After I placed the order they sent me an e-mail saying they'd ship on March 11th. I just got a postcard today from JCW saying that the springs are on backorder and won't be shipped until April 7th! Bastards!!! So if anyone plans on ordering the ST's, plan on a 2 month (or longer) wait until you get them. I'll be sure to post an update when they finally arrive. Quote
GnatGoSplat Posted March 24, 2005 Report Posted March 24, 2005 Hmmm, maybe you ought to find out who RW89TGP's contact was at Intrax and see if you can score a set there. Quote
AWeb80 Posted March 24, 2005 Report Posted March 24, 2005 I got mine in one week......that was 8 months ago though. Quote
J Posted March 29, 2005 Report Posted March 29, 2005 I got mine in one week......that was 8 months ago though. same here Quote
futuretgper Posted March 30, 2005 Report Posted March 30, 2005 yeah i just ordered some on like the 20th of march and i can confirm the back order till the 7th of april!! those bastards!! Quote
DiscoStudd Posted May 6, 2005 Author Report Posted May 6, 2005 Well here's the latest on the ST springs: I got another postcard last month saying that it would be May 9th when they shipped out (that was the last straw!!! I'm moving on 5/31, so they were going to get an angry call from me if they bumped the date again.) So I checked my order's "status" today and they said, and I quote, "line was cancelled." I checked to see if they refunded my Visa gift card that I paid for the springs with, and they did, so all hope is not lost (I got 96 extra bucks to spend towards a new Barbecue Grille!!!) So screw JC Shitney and their "discontinued" springs! Maybe next year I'll get a set of Intrax front springs and the Birchmount rear leaf to match ... Quote
GnatGoSplat Posted May 7, 2005 Report Posted May 7, 2005 Damn, that's bad news for W-body owners. Quote
5speedz34 Posted May 7, 2005 Report Posted May 7, 2005 Yeah, that blows! FWIW: What is the difference between the ST springs and the Intrax springs? Quote
Dirty Rockstar Posted May 7, 2005 Report Posted May 7, 2005 Great.. NOW I dont know WHAT to do for front springs!! :x :x :x Quote
5speedz34 Posted May 7, 2005 Report Posted May 7, 2005 http://www.stracing.com/agps-final/stag082504.htm That lists a set for the front and rear, are you guys sure it wasn't just discontinued through JC Whitney? Quote
cutlsp Posted May 7, 2005 Report Posted May 7, 2005 i think you could put the fux code front springs in your car with the dohc or 3800 and it would lower the front. you just have to get them out of a 3100 powered w-body. 8) Quote
DiscoStudd Posted May 7, 2005 Author Report Posted May 7, 2005 From what I heard over on the "other" W-Body forum, Summit and Jegs don't sell them any more, either... Quote
GnatGoSplat Posted May 7, 2005 Report Posted May 7, 2005 FWIW: What is the difference between the ST springs and the Intrax springs? The Intrax are progressive, the ST are not. ST claims 1.2" lowering, Intrax claims 1.8". As far as I can tell, they both lower about the same amount in real life. Quote
GnatGoSplat Posted May 7, 2005 Report Posted May 7, 2005 So what is the advantage to them? To the Intrax springs? Major advantage is they still make them. :read: Quote
JJ77 Posted May 10, 2005 Report Posted May 10, 2005 DAMN I JUST ORDERED SOME 2 WEEKS AGO. How good are intrax Quote
