Well if you're getting a clutch for $150 cheaper then anywhere else, I'd say it's worth the wait. Cancel your order and go buy it somewhere else for more money then. It's possible that the manufacturer of the clutch is casuing the delay not JRP.

You won't be able to drive it hard anyways, you have to be gentle with the clutch for awhile.

I had to wait 5-6 months for my rims to come in at JRP...but then again, they came from Japan

In my experience it was worth the wait.

Let me tell you whats going on. JRP is waiting to order your clutch together with other parts from that supplier, because its cheaper for them. I know they said they already placed the order, and its waiting it to be shipped, but they probably did not even place that order yet. Had same problems, but thats me.

Something to think about. Thats all

Thats exactly what I was going to post!

I've dealt with Steve @ JRP in the past for turbo & AEM brake upgrade parts. I've lucked out because all my parts arrived when they said they would.

You want cheaper price, then there is sacrifice to be made. Like someone else mentioned, shipping for one thing in comparison to a whole container will be costly and unless the buyer is willing to pay extra for immediately shippment, you just gonna have to wait for it.

Stores like these do their orders in periods of 2 weeks to sometimes a month, depending on their sell flow. If they sell quick, then obviously, they order often. If they don't, when they receive an order from the customer, they gonna compile other orders all together then ship them all at once to Canada.

That's what happened to my seats. I waited for a collective shippment. I can't say they are cheap, but I had to wait.

Stores that have a lot of items stocked up are the ones that has a constant sale flow. But it might be a gimmick just to attract people to buy because they all think if they order it today, the item will be shipped tomorrow. Even if the seller is low on stock but it will still work because when you have 10 buyers thinking the same thing, the seller has enough for 1 big shippment.

At the end, everyone wants to save a buck or two. That's why if possible, I buy from invididuals because you know the thing is right there, ready to go.
