simmsled. i'm switching because i have one bad tanabe spring. tried calling tanabe to see if they'd back up their product and send me one or i'd even pay for one if it were a pair. never heard back from "Nat"(guy i spoke with) even after i followed up once with him. poor service. done with all tanabe products. trd from here on in. karma.

take it to Stage Auto center in Kirkland. My friends brother owns the shop and has done all the work to my lexus and all the work on my roomates turbo 2000. Very trust worthy and they have everything in shop. Full digital alignment and everything needed. Its behind the Subaru dealership right off 405. He installed my f-sport springs on my 2007 AWD

Ishii Motor Industries in Bellevue. They installed springs and a BBK on my AWD GS350.

I wouldn't trust Illtech with my Lexus. Research their reputation with the Subaru community before you go there...
