I had a VERY bad experience with this guy.

He bought a pair of S calipers from me for $200 (buy-it-now) on eBay. The calipers were modified for quick pad changes and that was noted in the auction. It was the reason I offered them for only $200.

He purchased the calipers without asking any questions and then, after receiving the them from me, left me negative feedback without EVER contacting me, calling them 'junk' and 'unusable'.

I would have offered him an IMMEDIATE refund, but he left me my only negative feedback with no warning whatsoever.

He then sold my 'junk' the following week, on eBay, for over $400. They were sold under a different eBay ID, so no one could see the feedback I left him after the event. He later made the feedback on his 'alternate' eBay account PRIVATE so he could use that account for his shady dealings and still pretend to have 100% positive feedback on his primary account.

My eBay ID is seriesnineracing. His 'shady' account is ghiaparts.

Check it out.

He's a great guy. I had a chance to check out his parts stash and came home with a bunch of usefull stuff. Very easy to deal with.

Just make sure you're getting what you need......threaded perches.....not the 3 (5?)clip jobbies. 140 lb springs would be gooder (IMO), but I suspect 180s will allow more roll stiffness to be dialed into your new front sway bar (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Edit:

Went on the bay and saw the stuff. That'll work (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Yep thats me.
I try to please everone the best I can. I always try to give the best price on new items and most of the time start my used items at 1.00. But I will let my feedback do the talking and fellow memebers.

As for the ghiaparts that was my partner,purchaser, who no longer works with me. Its hard to find good reliable help. I dont even think that id is good anymore on ebay, it hasnt been used for almost a year now.

I *think* we have sold something like 30+ F+R sets so far this year. At one point we couldnt get them anymore. I got to show a few people at the last AutoX exactly how the Koni's work. Totally changed the setup on a car that was tail happy by setting the front shocks to full firm. Car went from oversteering PIG to nailed down driver.

I like them.
