Davis · 09-29-2008, 10:20 PM

I don't think those are. If I remember correctly, your car didn't look dropped Colin!

honda_bar · 09-29-2008, 10:25 PM

it doesnt look anywhere near a drop at alllllllllll, i know. Just want to be 110% sure. I have made the mistake of buying stuff that I already have (hangs head in shame

) I will attempt to order my stuff tomorrow! hopefully I can beat you getting it on! haha!

Tokicos?

My Konis haven't come in yet, plus my uncle wants me to drop his Yaris this thursday. So I think my Konis will be installed by next week. Blahh it's okay Colin, sucks though when you find out you already have what you bought.

Placed an order for my tools today, $975!

That is probably what I have in one drawer! Just wait and you'll be in the same boat

Collin, I doubt those are TRD springs...........

honda_bar · 09-29-2008, 10:52 PM

^ I'm 99.9% sure before I put up this post. Wanted to be on the safe side though. i guess that since I'm getting the toyota employee discount, I could've always resold em

you still might beat me... getting ahold of this guy is harder than trying to catch a chicken! and after that, we have to coordinate our days to get er done...

I wish I had a box! Oh and it's probably 2 drawers because at list price it would have been $2k!

Turbo_Mister_Two · 09-30-2008, 11:44 PM

Since this is a socal forum hopefully someone can help me out. I have no time to finish my car myself and I just shipped it back out here from Maryland where I went to college and the loser/tool that was working on it did more bad than good and so i need a legit shop to finish it up. I talked to Berk racing but all they could really tell me was blast racing but I couldn't get a phone number from them. Anything you guys could tell me about any really good shop would be great, so thanks in advance.
