I think when I go with coilover I am going to use Endura Tech. I have only heard good things about them.

But at the same time, Power by max have awesome reviews and te price is very good.

And Stance GR+ is another product people stand by, and love.

I hope Nick took care you, they are an awesome shop. So was it like a roller coaster when you stepped out of the show room and into the warehouse?

Haven't been outside to check, but I'd say like 18-24 inches. And it's still snowing.

Elite JDM is not for those looking for the best deal. They are pricey, but they have better stuff then other places. They don't just order motors sight unseen. They go over to JDM land, hand pick running cars for the most part, chop them, and ship them back. A lot of others just order a container and you never know what your getting that way.

I know the owner, and the employees down there, the are 2 miles down the street, and if your looking for a quality item I recommend them. You just might have to negotiate.
