Default Calling Viper Bob - Anyone Have His #?

I need to get a set of Bilstein HDs and I lost Viper Bob's number.

Anyone out there have it handy?

I hate to say it but don't hold your breath. I have emailed and pm'd for a quote for HD's, ROW set-up, strut bar and FPB and have not heard a peep for over 2.5 weeks. It appears that I will need to go with Gert in order to get what I need.

I really don't need any defensive posts on how great Bob is (I've read them all already). What I need is parts and service in a timely manner and if one is running a business that's what they should be providing. If they are experiencing personal issues that’s outside of business and since I'm not related or a friend it shouldn't affect me. I'm sure he's a great guy just my experience thus far.

What other options do I have for fast delivery in the US.

My local shop found the rear shocks available in town at $345 each, but could not find the fronts.

I was thinking that the full set should be about $1,000.

Wow! I think I neglected to welcome you to Rennlist. Let me know if you need any help throwing anyone else under the bus.

Hey I think azcarguy just wants to get some parts.While his wording not be the best he is probably just trying to avoid the crazy number of posts defending viperbob. Everyone be cool

That is impressive!

My shop found everything locally. There was a mixup with the fronts when they first looked them up, but they found the error and will have them Tuesday.

No , I think he agrees with what Josephla said, and can also attest to what you said regarding Gert's delivery.

I agree, Gert's delivery to the east coast has been astounding, even on big box stuff

I know this is probably totally ignorant, but I have no idea who Gert is. Can someone post a url for his (Or her) site?

Thanks in advance.

Carnewal.com is where you find Gert. I have placed five or six orders from Carnewal and they have all arrived within three to four days of ordering. Great service.
