I have a car coming home from paint next week and had plans to get it rolling by the end of the year. Unfortunately I can't get much done with just strut rods and rod end boots..
I called and it seems as far out as 3 weeks before parts ship, which leaves me pretty high and dry without upper control arms, lower pivots or tie rods.
If you have had a backorder with Hotchkis, were their estimations accurate? If 3 weeks is going to turn into 6 weeks, then I need to do something else. Another reason to go with Firm Feel

Why didnt you buy the TVS kit in stock? I don't need the subframe connectors or rear springs, nor does it include the lower control arm pivots. What are you looking at that is showing stock status?

This may sound weird, but check amazon also.
Searching "hotchkis e body" shows just about your whole list in stock

Everything gets built in batches and goes in a build queue. the big box guys buy the biggest bulk and usually have inventory. If you need stuff fast, shop around. Stuff sells like hot cakes and some times those poor production guys just can't keep up I certainly understand how parts end up behind, I was hoping to hear how accurate their lead time projections were, if someone here had experience. Like how MuuMuu mentioned his went from 3wk to 6wk. Unfortunately I took advantage of the recent sale and whomever has the parts in stock are a few hundred bucks more for the same parts.

As long as there are no production holdups due to equipment failures (damn sway bar machine has broken like 3 times in the last 2 years) the time lines are fairly accurate. As production move more and more to the new facility; times will become increasingly accurate. Sounds good, thanks!
