Just a heads-up for anyone following this thread and the lead times:
I'm in Southern California and placed an order with a well known SoCal shop on June 22 for a Stage 2 kit plus an extra part. So there is no across-the-planet shipping going on, and IVD and the seller/installer are both "local." Placed a sizable deposit.
This Monday (Sept. 14th) will be 12 weeks and no one can tell me anything definitive about when I might actually see the suspension or what to expect as a revised timeline.
