It's been many months since I've been on this forum and wonder if any group buys are coming up for the Tokico blacks or blues. I'm in dire need soon; it feels like the left rear has given up the ghost effecting stability at higher speeds. Might as well do them all. Is Joe still the man to see for these? All and all, the Q is running great thanks to all the great technical advice gathered here since I bought it 2 years ago.

Wes, Thanks for the contact. The price between SW and Joe was only $1 but SW doesn't carry the OEM boots. After seeing the scored shafts on my struts I'll be better about replacing the boots sooner next. Did you ever finish up your Shamu interior swap? I might be selling my Q in a month or two for a smaller car for my wife.

I bought the struts (or my wife did), and got the boots, upper links, and sway bar bushings from Joe.

It feels good to spread out the sponsor support.
