Todd's house is on kissena blvd. in queens. check the NE forum there's a thread there pertaining to it.

Todd has Ding meets every once and awhile. The guy he has is on point he does everything by hand.

i'm not to far from his house so I go local but I know the kissena blvd exit on the LIE leaves you right there.

We're having a bbq and we're meeting up like 11-12pm until like 5pm

I just read an article somewhere that the Tein Superstreet are not good as far as longevity. I think it was in Modified Magazine.

Congrats. You made a good choice with those Bilsteins. I had them for a little while on my GS and now my SC. One other thing though, the car actually feels much better than a BMW. Talking about a 540. I am not big on Shox.com but if the price was good........They have been solid and noise free unlike the Teins I had previous.

They amaze me every day I drive with them. The ride is incredibly smooth and controlled and not jarring. Mind you I am in NYC with pot holes and dips. I love them....

Hey Neo,
Sorry if you have been asked this already but it's late for me and I am too tired to research - hope you don't mind. What is "CS"? I don't see that on Tein's site. I was thinking about Bilstein shocks but at $850 for the coilovers, that sounds like a great deal.
