    It's got a cop motor, a 440-cubic-inch plant. It's got cop tires, cop suspension, cop shocks. It's a model made before catalytic converters so it'll run good on regular gas.
    any idea when my lines might ship? i ordered the 28th. you said you were picking them up last weds and shipping on fri hopefully. i was hoping to have them for mod day this sat.

    The drivers side hardline from the caliper to the rubber hose, one of the flares was toast from the factory. Ran to Napa and grabbed a premade 8" hardline and bent it into shape.

    These lines work just as advertised and are great. Along with my 2014 T4R "BBK swap" these feel great

    how long did it take for you guys to receive your lines? my friend who referred me to this thread said it took 2 weeks. unfortunately he did not tell me that until after i ordered.

    please refund my money, i can get the lines cheaper from all pro and elsewhere and get them quicker. you told me before i purchased ship time is usually 1-3 days. we are on day 23. i also find it unusual that it is $120 for front and rear lines, but $90 for just rear. Even though according to you the length of the lines does not affect price.

    Hey there,

    Sorry for the delayed response. I've been swamped with work and havent had time to jump onto TW. I picked up your lines on Saturday and was planning to drop them off tomorrow at USPS. However, I'm happy to process a refund if you prefer. Please let me know how you would like to proceed.

    FYI, prices are posted on the OP and I can assure you they do not change with the length of the lines.

    delayed response? or delayed shipment? or all of the above?

    you were "swamped with work" two weeks ago as well the first time i politely asked via PM.

    ive had a set of bilsteins sitting in my garage for a month.

    just to be clear, what is the price of rears only?

    if the lines go out tomorrow, send them. i wont hold my breath

    Cost for rears only is $89. Check with anyone who's purchased lines, price has never changed regardless of length or color. If you're unsatisfied with the turnaround, or think you can get better price elsewhere, I'm happy to refund your payment.

    only reason you care now is because i posted it in here instead of pm.

    id still be waiting at christmas if i hadnt and you still havnt offered an apology or reason.

    i dont believe for a second you arent making money off these lines.

    That's why I'm happy to process the refund. You should understand we do this as a favor to TW members. I can assure you there's no financial gain to me and the mark up is very low on my buddies end. Futhermore, I own and run an HVAC company, it just so happens this is the busiest time of year for me and while getting these lines out as soon as I can is a priority, it is not my top priority. As stated earlier, if you're disatisfied for whatever reason, I'll gladly process the refund and have you be on your marry way. I can assure you my feelings wont be hurt.

    so it went from 1-3 days to "we are busy this time of year" overnight? why did you quote 1-3 days if you knew it wasnt true?

    Ur a pain in the ass. Look through the thread the guy has sold 100s to members with no issues. Me included. If he makes money on it great he should since he puts it together and gets it to your door. People have lives and most people on here have a full time job lol. Big whoop if ur Bilsteins sat a couple extra weeks. Lol
