Steve,

The only advantage that I see using eBay, is that it will put you in touch with new clients. I found out about you via a search on eBay, and then called you directly (shipping for multiple items, and to Canada is always a little bit of work to get an accurate price). I can tell you that I will definitely be ordering from you guys again.

BTW the GT3 seats I bought from you guys are awesome. Every DE instructor has told me how awesome they are, and they make driving around the track in my C2S a fun ride (probably because they aren't sliding around). In fact I got in a few extra laps the other day because the instructor was enjoying the ride he told me to keep going even though others were going in. Nice clear track!

Ed

That is a really good point, Ed. We do track where our site and phone traffic comes from and we'll see how much of an impact eBay has. Perhaps the store will be back up sometime next month.

I'm glad the seats are working out for you. We really enjoyed looking at the photo shoot you posted up here!

Even if you just put a few listings and direct the people to your own website that will at least get people on your site. Just my 2 cents.

Any progress on the brakes we were talking about?

Oh sure, I shop around for those, but I'm not gonna go into long winded bargaining and negotiating for $100 parts or $200 parts... my time is worth more than that. If a business cannot be up front with its pricing, its a business I don't want to do business with. By saying, here is our price but we will beat whatever you find elsewhere, signals to me, that the business is too lazy to price their goods right and want the customer to do the legwork. Hire someone other than me for that.

Steve! sure has...
that GT3 seat in boxster red is a perfect match for my interior... and I wouldn't track my car without a GT3 seat... that's how much of a difference it makes... I'll go as far as saying that anybody with a 996 that hasn't driven it with a GT3 seat really hasn't seen what their car can do when pushed!

Thinking of GT3 sway bars as my final upgrade but worried that it may be too harsh for the street??

Pete,

That is awesome, I am glad you're enjoying them so much!

As far as the GT3 sway bars go, there's no worry about your car becoming too harsh for the street by any means. They are probably the most popular suspension upgrade we sell and I haven't heard anything but praise from guys who use their cars as daily drivers as well as for the track. It's also nice that the bars are 5-way adjustable, so if you wanted it to be stiffer for the track, you can change it, then make it softer for the streets (if it would even be necessary, which it probably wouldn't).

Suncaost really does have the best prices and quick shipment. Only room for improvement would be is if the part is backordered I'd like to be notified without having to call in for status of an order.

Steve, could you forward me price for a 997 GT3 front sway bar? I emailed your dealership and never got a reply.

Tks

advan, you have a PM! Feel free to email me personally or PM me if there's anything you need.

c2mojo, I vow to be more vigilant with my emails on special ordered parts. I apologize for any lack of communication in the past!
