Have any of you been into this place?
I saw it coming in a bit back and I've been seeing some street signs announcing that it is open now.

Do I dare bring a wallet with credit cards or should I leave them at home to be safe?

I heard that it is expensive so maybe go only with cash and leave the cards home........Even though I am planning to go there soon myself..............

I'm gonna try and head over Thursday to check it out. Since it is a Japanese based company, I wonder if they also can order JDM stuff?

BTW, found a bunch of STB on eBay from $12- $100 (Greddy), the one that looks like yours is $44.

I looked at ebay I saw some that look like the one I have..............Bid one one if you want one, I paid $65 for mine delivered.............I can make the spacers if you decide to install one......................MIKE

Also if you are going to lower your car I think you should go with the coilovers there are great prices out there now plus you can get the height you want,,,,,,

My schedule opened up so I headed over today and had a look. This place is a candy store of car parts ranging from engine components, suspension, gee-gaws, stereo and tire-wheel goodies. There is a good selection of products and it is well covered. I think the tire selection is excellent, possibly rivaled by Wheel Warehouse in Anaheim.

If you drive a mainstream tuner car like the Honda, Acura, WRX it's off the shelf and it is just drool city. Many of the cars I saw in the parking lot were Civics or Accords with a splattering of other cars. Lexus...I think we can do much better through the CL vendors.

This is a nice place to go just for the variety of parts to be seen and if you are in the neighborhood, it is worth the stop. Prices are full retail so it's not particularly wallet friendly.
