The shipping address is supposed to be close to me, I emailed them about an intake and if it was possible to pick one up instead of shiping it, they said no.

Prices are good, but its probably run out of some warehouse.

just from opinions and reviews i've read, people don't really like their GR2 shocks. of course, you can't always go by what people say, but you know what i mean. i noticed they have a set of tokico HPs for sale though and from what i've read, they are a satisfying group of shocks...

As far as those items go I've not purchased any of them and they seen to be found anywhere.. but as far as product shipping and quality they're great got my s-afc2 from them brand new in the box and fast shipping.

i've ordered about 5 or 6 things from them, i would HIGHLY recomend them.

edit: you don't need to spend $100 a peice on strut bars, you can get them both for $40 shipped.

Holy crap that is the beefiest/strongest strut tower bar or brace I have seen for an 89-94 240sx ever! Has anybody seen anything stronger, otherwise I think I found the best strut bar available?

Also does anybody make an X-bar/brace strut bar like a real strut bar that would be found on racecars?

I'd recommend CP Racing's triangulated FSTB instead.

BTW, I like my GR-2's. I'm sure there are far better shocks, but I liked the price.

Ummm, Tokico?

I hardly think their stuff qualifies as "cheap".

They're a major player, their stuff is great quality.

i don't see the big deal with brand name strut bars. its a peice of metal, that braces each strut tower...how can one peice of steel do it better than another?

edit: how about $45 shipped? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...33591

Wow CP Racing's triangulated strut tower braces are REALY nice. Are they the only ones that make triangulated strut tower braces for the S13 240sx?
