I ordered mine from import part pro as a set with the rear camber arms. Saved a few bucks. Havent looked for awhile on those.

How many people do they run in a novice group for the DE. I see 14 novice listed so far, wondering if I should sign up soon?

Chris, When you order make sure that your getting the newest version with the revised ball joint mount and boot. I liked the look of Adams when he put his on. I think its a nice improvement over mine, unless you can get a good discount I would go with the latest version.(I think that would Version 3)

I know when I ordered mine from IPP they where shipped direct from Kinetix.

Chris,

I was also going to say ImportPartsPro. That's where I got my Kinetix front arms. Those guys are in Houston so the parts come quickly. They're great to deal with and always have the lowest prices.

I would ask for a guy named Eric at this place...It's not close to you but very good with wheels.

I have had a few rims done there and they do really good work.

Eric used to have a Z and still works there I think.

Then i happily remind them that the day i paid for my 5 year alignment they were well aware and were soo soo giddy to sell me a 5 year alignment that they said yes sir, no problem, etc...etc....

pretty much whenever i bust out the paperwork they stop their complaining and align my car.....

one manager said, "well, well do it for you this time" and i replied "and the next time and next time as well for 5 years"........and he just looked at me and handed the tech my paperwork........douche bag was a douche bag...lol.

that is just epic, I can see it now. My wife and I have both gone there for various reasons and they have seen my Z and worked on it and its the same thing, those fools can't wait to sell me a service agreement. I'm confrontational so I think I will take it and just do the same thing, the price is good but will definitely have to be ready for a fight. I can do that for a deal.

this is the best part of the story

When I had my lifetime alignment at Firestone. They've never questioned or gave me any problems having done an alignment multiple times within a few months apart. They were more than glad to help.
