I'm not qualified to tell you what to get lol I'm just saying if you can still get a quality product and find it in stock then why not. What about cusco and tomei? Anybody have any experience with those? Good, bad, ugly?

Pat, I'm only going by what I can read up on and what I'm recommended first hand thru people on the site. Jake's rec comes highly...so I went with it.
What happened to your guy you knew ? I hope it wasn't that JDS place ?

I heard that os geiken was really good but I imagine that it's een harder to get a hold of....

Fitha sorry to hear about your LSD issues. I don't think I ever ran into issues like with any of the vendors. You should definitely give Stephen a chance, support that local business. If not you can try thmotorsport I got my clutch and flywheel from them for really cheap came in like 3 days

Give r/t tuning a call talk to petty or will and tell them I sent you. They are by far the absolute best business I have ever had the pleasure of talking too.

I personally am a fan of Mequiars..... I first clay bar then use the cleaner wax ,some swirlX and end with the mirror glaze...... that is alot of steps and work, but at the end of the day...you could spot a pimple on your face looking into the paint !

240 owners buy someone else's vin plates and title, but the legal way is to get a bonded title.
