Default 3rd gen shocks

Does anyone out there have an update on when aftermarket shocks will be available?

We were supposed to have 'em by year's end, but it sure as hell don't look that way.

I'm gettin' tired of waitin', y'know?

I highly doubt we'll get anything for the front anytime soon. However, for the rear, the RC shocks are out. Don't know if they're any good, I'm waiting til January to get them.

They probably have, they've probably laughed at us this whole time.

Actually I think the last golf cart I drove handled the bumps better [&:]

The rears are avaiable now from monroe, the reflex the fronts are avaiable jan 1 (but we herd that before). I have fingers crossed as I want to order jan 2nd.

Right now I don't plan to upgrade until Bilstein releases, if they keep me waiting for too long I may go to Monroe though.

How about everybody, and I mean everybody e-mail, call, whatever to Bilstein and get a fire going under these guys that we want their shocks. They seem to be stuck in neutral for months with soon, soon. What's soon? Six months ago it was by year's end, and with a recent call I made to Bilstein, I got the usual "I don't have anETA for your application" B.S. Get after them!
