HI experiences with mainland vendors

Hey my name is Lawrence and I'm new to the impreza scene in Hawaii. I was curious if you guys had any good experiences with mainland vendors. I was eyeing renick motorsports till i read a post about some of their complaints. Just want to order the whiteline rear adj. swaybars + kartboy droplinks. Does anyone carry them in Honolulu?

Hey my best friend's name is Lawrence but he moved to the mainland a year ago. Welcome to I-club, I like to deal with Vivid Racing, although I've heard from people that their service isnt so great, I've had great dealings with them, bought my widebody kit and rims from there, no hassles, great customer service.

Order your stuff from Turn in Concepts.

www.turninconcepts.com

Free shipping to HI and they are awesome guys. Plus, I believe their prices are the best.

Seriously, there is NO ONE I deal with for suspension parts and advice other than TiC.

They don't have many engine related parts, but everything they do sell is "good" and "quality."
Suspension pros

same day shipping on most engine parts--large inventory

Another thumbs up for JSC Speed for engine parts. Great customer service, they answered many of my noob questions patiently and thoroughly when I first started modding my car.

I guess I've been lucky in my internet shopping. I regularly visit Renick when I'm in the area and have ordered from them on-line and I have had no problems with them. I wish SERVCO Subaru had a parts department like that (toystore) on site. I have also dealt with Gruppe S and South Coast Subaru (Ferdie is THE man), another place I make a point to shop at when I am in California. SERVCO should be more like those shops where perfomance goodies are sold side-by-side with stock replacement parts.

TiC can get you those GC8 parts...just email them. They're a Whiteline and Kartboy vendor so they can get that kind of stuff pretty easily.

-XS engineering, fast email response, fast shipping!

-Turbo XS, no email response.. i havent boought their products directly from them, so not sure of shipping

-Deatschwerks injectors, fast email response, SUPER fast shipping...
