Default Ordering some coilovers tomorrow

So it's about time for me to order some coilovers. Going with JIC magic FLT-FAS for my 3rd gen. Choosing JIC over tein because jic comes with pillowball mounts. Cheapest I could find it was at luxurymods.com

anyone have experience with luxurymods.com? i remember someone saying something bad about the site. Would really like to know before i place the order.



i can't wait.

never bought through there, but if anything, either Paypal and/or you major credit card is on YOUR side.

If they scam or are late with delivery just call the credit company right away and argue the charge. If they show up later on; great = free coilovers, if not at least you are not out of your $$.

Cheers,
Mike

If I'm not mistaken you have a 98 ES 300? If you do, I have the same year and model. I'm also looking to lower my car via coilovers. I look forward to see how they work out for you. I'm also looking to go with JIC's The only problem I've experienced with Luxury Mod is that they dont get back with you when they say they will. I called them regarding a used JIC coilover and how much it would cost to replace a leaking coilover, since they are the authorized dealer for JIC. I spoke with them online and they said they would email me the price, when they got the info and that was 2 weeks ago, havent heard from them, now I'm going to have to call them. Good luck.

Okay so I talked to the dude over at luxurymods.com.. turns out they need to special order the coilovers from japan.. but they had a set that the fronts were new and the top half of the rears were refurbished.. got a price 240 dollars lower then the new ones and should have them here by the end of next week. crossing my fingers

yep! here are some pics. the coilovers were tearing into the tires in the rear so I had to get some wheel spacers.. the wheel spacers didn't fit so i'm having my studs replaced with toyota 4runner studs and then putting the
7 1/2 mm spacers on. So the car wasn't driveable last night but i took some pictures.. can't really see it very well at night but i'll take some better pictures soon.
