Right now, PDM is the only thing holding me back from the upgrade.  I have shot out 2 emails to him requesting the lines, and asking how to pay.
Possibly someone out there knows what the fastest way to get his attention is, and how I pay him.
Thanks
-Jeff

I too have had delays.  I sent him an email ordering some T/C rod bushings almost two weeks ago...and I finally decided to reorder yesterday.

i'm sure he will be happy to make money off you

LOL mark!
Drifter... he probably doesn't have a phone number on his site for a reason.

Anyway.. I just faxed him his own order form.. I hope to get my lines SOON!

I got a short shift kit from him, and the bushing on the end didn't fit.  I tried the swap the stock bushing after that, and it broke, so I had no car for 4 days.  Don gave no help.  He said it was my fault that the bushing was too big!!  He said I should sand it down!!

Has anyone ever heard of sanding down your new short shift kit?!

Anyways, I wasn't impressed with him and I won't be buying anything from him anymore.

Hey vancouvers14, I just installed my obx short shift kit yesterday and that was exactly what i had to do.  The plastic bushinbg isn't that big, it just doesn't have sort of a rounded bottom like the stock one.  Just sand the bottom edge down so it can have kinda like a rounded or pointed edge and give it a push and it will go in, guaranteed.

I ended up getting a new bushing from nissan.  it was only $4.  My point is though, we shouldn't have to sand down a new aftermarket part.  If we have to do that, then it means that the part was manufactured incorrectly.

Besides, I don't want to sand down the part cause that may destroy its integrity.  No-one can sand perfectly evenly, and that means that you're gonna create a weak point.

My other beef with Don is that he said that is was MY fault that the bushing didn't fit, and that I was obviously installing it wrong.  I'm not a professional mechanic, but duh, peg goes in the hole.  There isn't much to do wrong.

Have any of you ordered one of the $40 strut tower bars? I am ready to send him an order for one but I was hoping somebody could vouch that it is a good product.
Thats seems awfully cheap, almost too good to be true.

I wish I could get the same treatment. &nbsp;I've emailed him at least 5 times about those camber bushings plus some T/C rod bushings. &nbsp;He replied to the first couple, but hasn't since.

I wouldn't go with the Whiteline springs. &nbsp;I've never seen a 240 with them.

I wouldn't sugest not getting them just because you've never heard of a 240 going with them...it's just that they'rte are alot more popular brands out there that people buy....

and Lance, just keep trying man....I'm sure Don is a busy man with the more popular his site gets!!!....wouldn't give up on him just yet:)

I intend to Hondakilla...it's just getting a little frustrating since those bushings are the only thing keeping me from dropping my car. &nbsp;I got over $700 worth of suspension components just looking pretty under my carport.:(
