    I wish he'd just start selling the kits. I may need to order a set of 12s and that's 3 to 4 weeks out so the longer I wait for shock mounts the longer I have to wait for shocks.

    That's because of the sale price they may also give a tw discount on top of that. I decided to go with accutune instead since there 10 minutes from me if I have any issues or need a rebuild I can have them done by the same people. I also spoke with the owner on the phone and was very happy with the support.

    I know that they do but I'm not sure if they honor it with sale prices.

    I'll start selling them. I think I may switch to 1 bolt hole in the tower so it centers the shock in the tower. That means smooth body shock only, remote reservoir.

    So bypasses then?
    I was considering a 2 or 3 tube bypass for some greater adjustability.

    No he means smooth body shocks for the final kit. If someone ends up wanting a bypass I'd think he can put the hole in a different place for special order

    So no bypasses then if I revise it. I really think a 2.5" smooth body is adequate on these 1st gens, especially with compression adjuster.

    I didn't even say a bypass will fit for sure in first batch, it's a risk tester would have to take

    I bet the compression adjuster would be fine but it's only a little more for a 2 tube bypass.

    Either way two holes or one I just want a good set of shock towers.
