I don't know what's going on with other manufacturers' products. But mine came quicker than expected because one arrived four days early. Second. It took a little while to put all the pieces together. But worth every penny. I couldn't be happier with my setup. I have only one minus. Which doesn't really matter, except for a neat freak like me. The inscription for the shock where it says "Fabtech" is a sticker and I couldn't glue it. But otherwise everything is smooth. And the best part is driving them. worth your money
