Parts at Pacific Automotive

Just FYI,..

I just had my alignment done at Pacific on Tuesday and talked to Ken as I saw new parts around for sale.

Since the split from Vakamon, now R&D, there are stuff like Hawk Brake pads and a new Injen CAI or cold air intake I think for WRX fitment (should be same for STI?)...You can call if you need stuff like this locally and dont want to wait for shipping..

Tell Ken that Kevin mentioned it on I-Club so he knows at least I posted the info here and knows about it..

Don't buy those parts from Pac Auto. It's nothing against Ken at all or his shop. You'll be supporting someone that doesn't deserve the business. Just trust me...

i think i paid 120...just make sure your car is really aligned after. i was pretty sure mine wasnt but trusted his job since it comes so highly recommended by you all. a couple months later my tuner was road tuning my car & hes like wtf is up with your alignment didnt you just get it done. i said yeah, i was pretty sure it wasnt straight. i didnt hit anything or go in any major potholes...so yeah, just make sure your car is properly aligned.

I think around $120-ish or so? But worth it in my opinion as he does it to your specs, what he recommends, for street or race, corner balancing...etc..

My car had 0 or + camber,...that sucked,...he put in -1 degree and other adjustments and I didnt know what I've been missing...

I had a feeling that someone would post this as I know about the split,...but its nothing about siding with either R&D or Reid,..but about local parts if any I-club member needs them asap or without having to pay shipping etc (as in Hawk pads etc) and I noticed them in Ken's office..

Buy or not at your disgression...

I was unaware of that ^^...
I thought all those parts were not spoken for and new for sale...
I would definitely not buy them personally and that is a messed up situation...
