Default ASM e-bacs.com

Well since ASM made a pretty big name for themselves with their Tsukuba special S2k I decided I was going to go full ASM on my suspension, or at least mimic their setup, or so I thought. I started researching and hoping to find pricing on most of their stuff, well other than their Japanese site your out of luck. So I kept getting routed to their online store, which turns out to sell nothing but air freshners online, gg morons. So I thought good grief all this trouble for some pricing, so then I just sent e-bacs an email asking about pricing on a set of sway bars and which ones to go with for autocross and maybe tracking the car once a year. So I get a return email saying call this number at extension xxx.

Today I call the number, the guy asks me if I'm local I tell him no I'm in Ky, doesn't know what to say, I'm thinking great another clueless moron. Well then their line starts fading and the guy picks back up four minutes later and cant hear me so he hangs up. I call right back, then get another guy who redirects me to the man I need to talk to. Then he says he would have to contact ASM Japan to check availability since the part is new and this guy also asks me if I'm local, which is weird. Then he reveals that they do not ship out anything, wow what kind of moron business doesn't do shipping? So Super Autobacs is just a waste of web space. Thanks for nothing, I'll stick with J's parts, good luck selling JDM air fresheners at $11 a pop.

i suggest that you get the parts you need from either tommy@ gotuningunlimited or from allen/will @ eauto. they would be your better bet. most of the guys that work at autobacs doesnt know anything about ASM nor their pricing from japan.

dealing with autobacs usa, you have to know who to talk to because not everyone specilises with S2k

We are the authorized midwest wholesale distributor for ASM, so i guess I might be your closest dealer. Fell free to ask me any questions you may have via PM/email/phone. We have much experience in the JDM performance market, and we also ship =0O lol

Deffinently.. there are many specialty JDM brands out there, and dealing with autobacs is not the way to go. If you know exactly what you want, it's a great way to just purchase something since they are a distributor, otherwise, good luck. There are some nice guys at autobacs, but they are not the most knowledgeable of sales persons. Hit up me or Will at E-Auto for ASM, or tommy at go tuning. We all ship out and we're ready to take care of your order as well as answer any questions you may have

Don't blame ASM for Autobacs USA retail being dumbshits.

I've bought stuff from all three the guys above and any one of them will take care of you.
