I've got reserve duty this weekend, and have yet to acquire a spring compressor, so I'm not too concerned just yet. That and I have 2 other project cars that need completion before I lower the CD. Tracking numbers would be good though so I know when something arrives.

I'm going to take a wild guess and say that the east coasters probably are not on the list for kickbacks due to shipping costs to get here? No biggie. Where were these made anyways, seeing that Vogtland is German right?

My mom informed me that a box arrived today from Vogtland-USA via DHL (Arizona). Box was beat to he77, but I think that they are fine. I will check it out this weekend when I go home....I am excited. Hopefully my two sets arrived safely.

Springs came today, via dhl! Unfortunately, I wasn’t home to receive them but they will be dropped off tomorrow.
Thanks again to rudolfgreen and biobenz for all your efforts,
Mike.

D'oh! I skimmed the message too quick and then just looked at the top right of your post and didn't think to look in the message. Yeah, I've probably got 3-4 days for mine. Maybe they'll go in next Sunday depending on things. I might pick up some spring spacers to make things work so I don't have to ditch the CLS wheels, or atleast tires.

My spring came by way of DHL first thing 9/5/2007. I live in Illinois. Thanks for all the effort gentleman. I look forward to upgrading when I can find the time.

anyone in on this order in NC/ Southern VA? I'd like to get together to accomplish the coil replacement, pool resources and labor, tool rental etc. I'm in Raleigh, NC and this seems like a job that won't be much fun by myself.

Here's a silly thought...When I ship from Fedex and put everything in one transaction my shipping numbers are sequential. Omega, do you still have the tracking number on your DHL package? We could probably figure out a lot of dates and make a lot of people happy (or atleast informed).
