yeah, aj usually has the lowest prices but also has some pretty high shipping. I ended up getting my spoon strut from randdmotorsports, same price but shipping was $30 less and randd got the bar through AJR, wtf?

so do you want to go through them? see how much it is.

my buddy said it would be 10-20 dollars for shipping for both of us.

but its CF . I don't quite understand how there's anything carbon fiber in it if its flexible. $80 isn't terrible if its made to fit our car, we can barely get a sniff for most aftermarket parts.

so if AJ is out of stock... can your friend at the shop in FL still get them, I tend to think everyone in the states goes through AJR anyways.

Before resin is applied to it, carbon fiber is basically a cloth like material that is as flexible as a cloth napkin.

haha, he does go through AJ, I emailed AJ and they didn't even give me a price.



i also tried to get a board discount but i think they just avoided that comment.

too bad boom plus doesn't carry it, they have great customer service.

my friend said he can get them - about 7-10 days, so that really means about a month.

i still want it tho, still kinda hesitant about getting it since i just spent so much on hondata.

AJ says it will take 30 working days, which is about 6 weeks dude.

Hey xizor,

Can you give us an update on your TEIN SS...
How well do they ride now?
Have you adjusted your ride height?
If so, did you get an alignment right after?
What dampening setting are you using right now?

Thanks

I lifted the front by about 1/8in because I was rubbing and scraping too much, eliminated 90% of that problem. I have the ride on stiffest right now to test it out, I'm going to drop it back down, still trying to get a feel for what I want. And I'm going to take it in for an alignment tomorrow, the front is fine, the toe is out in the rear.

Looks good!!!!!!!!

xizor------>that drop is astro pimp!

Just ordered my Tein SS and Ingalls camber kit from the world famous mrheeltoe and scheduled my install with JTso for next weekend.

Still trying to sell my soul on ebay so can afford to get those volks like vwong. It may sound hokie......but I got a pic of vwongs ride as my background on my work pc to inspire me to make the purchase.

I might even throw my chocolate window skins on it this weekend. 20% Madicco all the way round. Anyone need fresh tints in WA? pm a brotha!

And for anyone looking to buy coilovers/cambers.....give mrheeltoe a call! He pretty much gives ebay type prices.......namean?

I will post my once I get everything installed.
