i found parts on rhdjapan.com are they reputable?

 

some people have repped them on here, I know one user got coilovers from them. But their prices are very steep. I assume this since they are just an exporter and not a US vendor.

 

I've used RHD for 4 orders at this point (including TEIN Super Compact coilovers) and I have nothing but praise for them. Russell, Patrick, and Takeru have all helped me out tremendously. Patrick even called me (from Tokyo) on his own initiative _and_ at an appropriate hour to discuss options with me for one of my orders. Nice guys and they are more than willing to work with you to find whatever part/mod you need, if it exists in the JDM aftermarket (Takeru's specialty). Practically concierge service as far as that goes. Several items in the Fit section of their website were only added because I specifically requested them and they became interested in ordering them. If it's JDM stuff you need, Dave (JDM_DOHC_SiR) on FitFreak is *the* only other real-deal, go-to guy, in my opinion.

Their prices are pretty darn high, but a large part of that is that RHDJapan is #1) an exporter and #2) their listed prices typically include EMS shipping and all export costs in the price (unless you de-select EMS at checkout). The weak dollar doesn't help either. Anyway, an EMS-shipped order from RHD in Tokyo takes about 2-3 days to get to me in Atlanta, Georgia and everything arrives in excellent shape, so if that kind of speed and reliability (EMS is the best delivery service in the world -- period.) is worth it to you -- go for it. Otherwise, JDM should be able to hook you up.

Cheers,

I gotta rep EMS shipping as well, everything I have ordered from Nori in J-Land came EMS. I was able to track the pkgs, and they all came quickly.

 

thanks for the imput fellas!

 

Yes ... but pricey $$$$

 

I ordered the Cusco coilovers from them (when they were cheaper). Shipped it to me quick. Responded to my emails and products were as advertised. Yeah, prices are more expensive than normal (especially with the dollar to yen conversion at $1 to about 90 yen) and RHDJapan's fees as well. But, I guess it's for boneheads like me that have no patients for parts to release
