Anyone order from Nengun Performance? I asked if they could get 2013 CU2 front grille and they could get everything brand new. I am wondering now about the custom fees and what not. Anyone could share the experience of ordering parts overseas?

I took my TSX up there in October & had a blast. Stayed in the Bronx bc my buddy knows some females out there... hit up a few lounges, and had some good ole Dominican food!!! It's only a 4 hour drive, depending on how fast I drive. 
On another note, I'm ready to order my coilovers (finally). I'm leaning towards BC Racing BR Type coils... but unsure of what spring rates to choose and don't want to make a new thread so suck it up and answer my damn question here!
I was going to stick to their stock spring rates 10k/6k...but since I have a fairly heavy sub in my trunk (JL 13w7 + box) + the added weight of passengers in the rear, I was thinking of upgrading the rears to 8k.
What do you guys suggest?!
And I'm not sorry for the long post

the use of thicker spring rates isnt for "added weight"
when you have a thicker spring rate in the rear; the tail end is easier to swing out, induced over steer if you will.
that is the intended use of thicker springs in the rear.
I suspect you will have a harsher ride as well.
And I'm about to go DEFCON in this mug.
I'm having a rifle built.
yeahhhhh buddy!

If you are good at cad, you can design your own stocks, grips, sights, or whatever. And the goop they use to print stuff is relatively cheap for how much volume of material you can print.
I support this decision fully!

eBay FTW. They're Grigio though, so I'm gonna send them to my paint guy as soon as they come in along with the aero rear.
For anyone else who needs them (ed) This guy has them listed at like $250 + $60 shipping... I offered him $140+Shipping and he accepted!

ehhh they need to tone down the front a tad; Ive always been a big fan of the WRX if not for the tsunami that hit Japan (it delayed production of the wide body wrx, and it made the prices shoot up) I would be driving a 2011 WRX..
Cant wait to see it in person as Im going to the Auto Show next weekend will post pics if anyone else have a request let me know

I go yearly with the gf I've been trained to just stare straight at the cars
I run away when the models or any hot salesgirl start telling me about the cars
...Since you're gonna be in NY this weekend why not go its the opening weekend thats why Im gonna go next weekend too crowded and the line is gonna be annoying
