Was there a big sale I wasn't aware of?

Or is it that it's one of those things that just happens to me because I'm a white guy?

I have a good size pile of money and it seems Modern Performance and Howell Automotive are all sold out of what I am looking for! WHY! HOW!

Just venting. But seriously, why would Tokico blue struts, UDPs, plug wires, coil packs etc. be sold out and not be in stock until closer to May. I am almost ready to buy my first items ever on eBay but I am still not ready to trust that shady place with my credit card info.

Ebay isn't all that bad. I've been using it since 2005 or so. Go through paypal, it keeps your info secure. Seriously, you can get tokico's and springs for like $350 on ebay right now.

I just picked up my blues off of ebay for 263 with free shipping

I am gonna order the blues with the springs and sell the springs on here. I have low mileage SRTs that I want to use. I want a slightly stiffer ride but not really lower the car any.

I am going to hold out for a UDP though. I only want to run a name brand one, preferably an UR but I will take an MPx or AF/X though. Coil and wires I can stretch it out on as well since I need to. But I need struts ASAP so I can get my sways on and get it aligned up so I can get new tires since mine are pretty much dead. It all hit at once, you know. Next up is timing belt refresh. Lots of fun there. Add to that my floor jack snapped a lynch pin while up in the air just as I was starting a brake job. LOL.

Make sure you use the eBay live cashback...

I have been using Modern for years but they won't have UDPs for 2nd gens in until May sometime.

What is eBay Live Cashback?

Shox.com has the Tokico kit for $364 shipped right now. I will prolly just call them up and have them sent over today. I think I even have a buyer for the springs I won't use. They are 1.4" drop all around. A good friend had them on his Neon for only a few weeks before he traded out of his Neon and he said they were kinda soft. He had Teins before and hated them because they were too stiff. But the WRX he bought right afterwards seemed to be JUST RIGHT...lol

BTW, if any of you are interested, Shox.com does group buys so if there is enough interest in a GB of the Tokico Advanced Handing Kit, we could prolly shave a few bucks off and nab free shipping.
