springs

after 2 months wait and 2 weeks delate at tunerworks, my new wheels finally here. the attude on the main desk is really bad. i hope i dont have to go back there every again.

been searching for the lowest price for the GF210 tanabe spring. do you guys know anywhere sale it for lower than $225(tunerworks) .. i heard someone said speedtech sale it for $285 rite? because one of my friend got a yaris and got the DF spring from online only cost 205.

do you guys shine your tires? do you recommond spray on one or brush on one? and also the brand?

If you aren't happy with Tunerworks, you should go talk to Speedtech. Just tell them what price you are getting it from Tunerworks for and see if they can match or get close to the price.

I just have a generic can of tire shine that my dad had lying around and use that. I used to use Meguiar's Gel, but it was a pain to use. I'm considering the super wet look one from Turtle Wax.

Hey friends288, I think 225 is too cheap for those springs at Tunerworks. I ordered those exact springs a while back. The first time I phoned in they quoted me a number, I ordered and then they accidently lost the order... the second time the cost they quoted me was like 40$ less. When I mentioned that price they said that is below their cost on them...
lol then again I might be getting hosed

hey sugarphreak. how long did you wait for the spring at tunerworks? is there any rubbing when doing a turn in high speed or something? i dont know if i should get the spring now, since is already half pass summer, by the time i got the spring would only have 2 months before start snowing again. is the lowing ok for winter?

i still dont know which tire shine to get =(
i am down to the following three.
spray on Eagle One Tire Shine
Tire Shine

Eagle one tire gel
Eagle OneŽ Tire Detailer

Man... I have been waiting forever for these springs! I originally ordered them Mid-May No idea about the rubbing until I put them in, DaveVM has lots of experience with this setup though. I am hoping I have his luck!

Edit: Oh yeah, they were saying they are supposed to have a big order from Tanabe next week. You want me to check out if they have any more for the Fit when mine come in? I did order 3 times now, so maybe they are going to be overstocked when it is all said and done
