    Shout out to Ben @ Boss

    Ben is THE Boss.

    I sent him a brand new rack to depower, thinking that because it was brand new, it'd be pretty easy to tear into vs. the old crusty 80k mile rack i attempted to do myself.

    Silly me.

    Ben spent a LOT of time, effort, and even some money trying to get the inner tie rods out of the rack. I know MANY other people/shops would have ended up just tell me to go screw myself, especially for the initial price that Ben quoted me for the job. (SHOULD have been about an hour job.) Not once did he even mention wanting to quit, even going as far to say he was thinking about tracking down a car he could bolt the rack to.

    Ben rules! Now i can move forward with my build!

    Will definitely be supporting this vendor in the future, and you all should, too.

    Aww you guys make me blush! I'm so glad to hear that you guys are satisfied with the purchasing experience at my store! Hopefully in the near future I will be able to bring my own creations to the Miata world!

    Just send me a PM! And it's not only with depowered rack's guys and gals, if you've got something you need worked on that you're having trouble doing yourself, just box it up and send it my way (if you're not local that is)! Depowering racks is USUALLY one of the easier jobs haha.

    Ben @ Boss Performance is the BEST to deal with. He's not only a resource to our community, he is just a all around great guy. Case and point I ordered a new shift-knob yesterday afternoon, I received a tracking number within 4 hours and a phone call to thank me for my business. I ordered my roll-bar through him as well he helped me install it. Whenever you can buy from Ben. I do.

    I expect royalties on increased business from this thread, Ben.

    Thank you for that great review! I hope to be always expanding and selling more parts and hopefully VERY soon will be selling some of my own. You got Ken's last shift knob made in that shape and thread pitch by the way!

    How about internet stardom by placing your review on my website?

    But in all seriousness everyone, these reviews touch me and it's great to get such a positive response from the community!

    No I meant with your permission I will place your review (and possibly a couple of others) somewhere on my website so you can achieve stardom haha. Not that you have to do a review of the website itself; however all comments and critiques are more than welcome!

    Will do! I could use a review of the website, but keep in mind that I'm restricted by GoDaddy's cumbersome "Shopping Cart" setup. I have very limited access to modifying the overall framework of the site, but I can change the appearance quite a bit.
