Default The wait for my DRM shocks is painful! Found youtube video!

I’ve been on the waitlist for the DRM shocks and the wait is killing me! I searched DRM on YouTube and came across this video that only had 2 views showing approx how many shocks DRM needs to order from Bilstein and why the wait is so long. The shock dyno reminds me of something that might work well in a totally different industry

Are DRM still open? I have tried to call and email Randy with no response at all. All I need is replacement bump stops for my DRM Bilsteins, but Bilstein has refused to help me, despite their limited lifetime warranty, Kinda sucks.

I spoke with him a few weeks ago...he said he’s amassing orders and expects it to happen over the next couple of months. A bit vague perhaps, but it is what it is I suppose

When you order a set, do you pay in full or leave a deposit until they are ready to ship?

you email them and they put you on a list. I paid at checkout because their website allows you to, but they just returned my payment.

I considered the Vikings but when I called Cordes Performance to order them they told me that everyone who buys them gets them for Drag Racing and not for road racing or autocross (what I intend to use them for), Cordes recommend DRM or Johnny O’Connell shocks instead.

Could always just do the normal bilsteins. They are 99% of the DRMs. Avoid JOC like the plague.

The JOC's seemed outrageously overpriced.
