Where to get V7 STi Suspention Take-offs?

I am looking for v7 Sti takeoffs.
wondering where/how a good place/way to get them in HI.
Vendors, friends, cute japanese girlfriends or robots, whatever...

i keep checking JDMPARTSTX.com, as they used to get stuff through but since they are japan -> texas -> HI seems like a waste and they don't have any on the horizon...

Thanks for any info.

Your best bet is japanparts.com if you want new stuff. And prepare to get raped on the shipping.

Otherwise, jdmpartstx is a pretty good deal for slightly used JDM goodies.

I don't think any shop in HI can source these items.

If not, you can always make friends from Japan. Good luck.

I'm trying to buy coilovers from this guy i know but now he is all happy with his suspention now, what a jack@ss. heh heh.

Since you have been happy with your coils, lemmy know where you got em and who made them, I don't wanna spend much, but I dont want some POS ones either.

so anyway, getting the parts to hook up the intercooler, got most of it in the mail this AM, along with the boost gauge. a Y pipe is on the way, and so is a FCD that a guy makes for the leggies, after all thats on there we will see how 15psi feels.

also looking at a TD05-16g on ebay, we will see how that goes.

but it's NA. you're going to be turboing your car? I think that's a lot more expensive that just buying a turbo wagon. also your engine will probably not hold up to the forced induction. your engine internals are not the same as a WRX or STI though it's got .5 more displacement

Jon

good luck though.
