I don't know if any of you are in the same boat, but i'm having one hell of a time getting a set of H&R springs. I ordered mine back in April and i'm still waiting. I've been given all kinds of reasons why they haven't come in yet, the most recent one being that they won't bring them into the country until the strength of the Euro comes down. I guess my only options are 1. Keep waiting 2. Order another kind of springs 3. Financially sabotage every country in Europe that uses the Euro so that their economies fail and Blau will import my springs sooner. I'm not sure what to do ...

Cancel the order and get the 2Bennett coilovers or some Ground Controls.

Waiting on Blau was an inconvenience. Service I got from 2Bennett was miserable, very costly and left me questioning their integrity.

my favorite response was
-we have them, but they're lost in the warehouse in germany, but they're there...
so i waited and waited and finally they came.

1) contact Adventon and confirm availability and price, then cancel your Blau order

2) hang in there on the hopes you'll get an "I love my Audi" window sticker from Blau for your troubles<ul><li><a href="http://www.adventon.com">Adventon URL</a></li></ul>

i was considering importing a blau cam for my CGT about a year ago, and i live in europe.

Cam seemed cheap, but when you start to count in the taxes my crazy goverment want (add another 25% in VAT) i just let the thougt go.

How much are you paying for at set of 4 springs anyway?

I've never had a problem with Blau, but I would not hesitate to ditch them after a 6+ month wait...

I ordered some stuff from them and it never came. Took them a month to tell me it was backordered and to get my money back.

And they have done quite a bit of work for me over the last 5 years. What happened to you?

Bad news, the exchange rate isn't going to get better, see if you can get them from the tire rack!!!

I didn't have a problem with them yet either, but you've been waiting too long. Cancel the order.

H&amp;R is in Bellingham, Washington.

Call up H&amp;R and ask them if they have anything for you. I'll personally drive up there and pick them up to ship them if you need it.

Here's H&amp;R's contact info:
http://www.hrsprings.com/site/frameabout.html

I personally have not had problems with Blau. When I ordered my cam and parts, they got it to me relatively fast.

Cancel the order and go somewhere else. H&amp;R isn't exclusive to Blau. Unless you're getting a really screamin' deal, get them somewhere else.
