USPS triangular shipping box would have been a better shipping option.

Noice! Rates?

So, then why the coaxial tophats?
Edit:
I ask because the 550/350 rates are usually best for street car and the coaxials seem counter-intuitive of that.

I know they lose the dampers that the NB hats have but wanted to preserve optionality to upgrade springs if next year's track aspirations materialise. With softer springs to start hoped the sphericals wouldn't be too much of a compromise. (I know, hope isn't really a strategy).
Once I get wheels with a better off-set will also likely upgrade bushings at that point which is why I didn't take advantage of their big grip kit.

Ah, that makes sense.
Another piece of the puzzle, just waiting on the manifold and turbine to be done at the ceramic coaters.

So many cool parts guys!! Wow
That reminds me, does anyone know of a source for the plastic clip locks for the top adjusters?
I was able to source a pair of used latches in a bit better shape than my own and I've swapped them over. The latches I swapped in both had broken adjuster locks, so I had to swap the ones on my stock latches over. While doing so I discovered one of those clips for the adjuster had the back tab broke off. Not really an issue as far as function, but I would still like to replace them.
Positive update on the belt moldings. Claim filed Friday. Left them where I said this morning, Monday. Got home to see them gone and a damage ticket pick-up slip with routing number. Possibly have my moldings by M@TG???

Found me my first Pitcrew parts. A small badge, and a back up light, no longer in production. One day.....
First pitcrew parts. by cermivelli, on
Also found me this Kgworks gaugepanel. In a finish I've never seen before, It also seems it has two sets of trimrings glued together...
Another hoard part. Never seen this finish before. #na6ce #kgworks #rsrefine #jdm by cermivelli, on Flickr
For my Bodyshop Hayashi tails, I've found a set of replacement lights with the trimrings!
Future plans! #bodyshophayashi #zoomengineering #jdm by cermivelli, on Flickr
These parts are meant for a future build, but lately I'm in doubt of swapping the (genuine) GV panel, for the Hayashi tails. Lately everybody seems to be able to get a knock off version of the GV panel.... The GV will than go on the future car. What do you guys think?

Go with the hayashis. They are rarer, special, and reqlly good looking. I personally prefer the GV, but as you said, everyone has a knock off now.
Also, sell me the GV
