Damn!

Stillen exhaust & Stillen Sways @ Stillen Day

or

Tein Basics @ Tein Garage Sale

I think you're better off going with your Stillen day list... I think the Tein stuff is mainly clearance items... based on what you have been posting that you are looking for I think you'll get it from Stillen day better than Tein. But you never know - you might want to go and check it out... there might be something there you just cant live without - that's why I'm going (also to see if they have any smokin deals on Volks).

I see.

If money were not an issue, I would have done all my suspension for now.

But it is, so im trying to do performance first, and leave the suspension for last.

My 06 6MT handles pretty well anyhow.

the sale was wack

the flyer showed that cwest arc and project mu parts were in on the sale

cwest - about 10 items random side skirts bumpers and 240 trunk lips
arc - a small box of caps not in packaging and a couple, no more than 10 induction boxes also not in packaging
project mu - a small box of brake pads

for tein dampers, there were maybe about 10 in stock and for random cars. i remember reading the item list and seeing a damper kit for a dodge magnum. wtf?

they had a lot of discontinued single rims for sale. i paid $45 for a 17 inch volk gtp that im gonna give to my friend to hang on the wall.

i think a lot of people were pissed off. the area of this "garage sale" was i think 40 x 20 feet.

although i only waited 2 hours because i cut in with some friends who were there @ 4-5am, i think i'm pissed off enough not to buy any tein products. its just retard as a company to do something like this. i was in line and over hear some people talking about the first 3 people in line were there since 2am.

oh yea they also had an area of used oem parts. mainly parts that were gutted out from their project cars. also in that used parts area, there were maybe about 30 random damper coilovers on the ground some with description some without.

this was a sale for people looking to decorate their homes with car parts, not for people looking to buy parts for their cars.

man i'm still sooo pissed right now. i woke up @ 7am for this crap. i cant imagine the people who were there @ 2am.

here's my post from My350Z.com:

I turned around and left.

Did anyone go?... If so was there anything good? All I was looking for is a good deal on Volks - or just Tein hood dampers so I didnt mind not going... just a huge waste of time though!
Everyone on that site says the same thing - it wasn't worth it. Apparetnly some cool cars though... I saw some okay cars but didn't pay much attention. I was pissed that I wasted my time.
