D&D complete front kit with coilovers and lakewood sruts and shocks, I bought mine off a independent dealer selling them through e-bay for right around 600.00 a few years ago...of course the prices have gone up but back then it was a smokin' deal

That is a good deal, but I've heard some horror stories about buying certain car parts from e-bay... I've been tempted to look, but I'm a little nervous.
Do you have any complaints about them or have they been holding up well?

you can always go PA performance or UPR and get a complete K member and coilover kit for 600-800 bucks. thats just for the front end though. you dont really need coiovers in the rear, easier jsut to swap out for some better shocks and springs, new control arms and lose the quad shocks...

sounds like MJR bought it from a D&D perfomance ebay store....which is like the same as buying it from D&D. if it was a infependent person selling it i'm a lil more weery of ebay purchases...but ebay stores are solid!



MJR, i wish i had your toys.... i wanna be fast too!!!

the d&d kit was drop shipped direct from d@d through a independent dealer selling their kits on ebay..had I of went direct to d&d they'd of charged me full list......the dealer selling them didn't stock them at all..all he was ..was a middle man that places a order to D&D and then they ship direct to me...only difference was I pay the middle man not D&D..I had no probs at all

LOL...I'm soon going to be selling some of them due to lack of use ..meaning the 66 and the 92 and get a vert...........but no I didn't buy it from a D&D ebay store....just an independent dealer on ebay who had a ebay store...so it was a rock solid purchase
