The guy replies and say's "well, they must be an online dealer or something. I don't see how they could get it for so low"

In my mind I was like "Damn dood, u don't know your competition foo"

then for kicks, I asked them how much for installation for a stoptech big brake kit. "$350 for installation"

I then said "wtf, I could get that installed at mpj for $130 or so"

The guy then ignored me so I walked away



Thanks Mpj for giving us cheapos good deals! :banana:

Yeah Griffin is way overpriced. I've called them about a few things. And they don't seem like a real top notch shop.

Retail on WRX HKS BOV kit is $310. There is NO reason they would sell it for that much.

Maybe they were trying to jack up the price because of the auto show in hopes of getting clueless customers to buy
