Just FYI:
I bought the entire front right suspension from Gio for $300. Darrin at West End realized the front right lower control arm was bent after he couldn't get any caster out of the front right side (literally zero degrees of caster). I messaged him and he said he would refund me $50 if I could prove that it was bent. I ended up ordering a brand new control arm from Honda for $242 and had to spend hundreds more for the install, realignment, recornerbalance. To be honest, $50 is a drop in the bucket for all the troubles this has cost me. $50 would merely be a gesture of good faith and sincere apology for what happened. In fact, because the control arm was so bent, the sway bar endlink was contacting my shock, causing it to create a deep groove into the shock body of my expensive Evasive Spec TEIN SRC. I sent him a clear picture of the brand new control arm and the bent control arm side by side, showing the obvious bend. I contacted him a week ago, and he has yet to respond. His position is that he never had any problems with the front right side, so it couldn't have been bent.
I thought he was a nice guy, too.

I had a deal with this guy to come pick up a bunch of parts and the day I am supposed to head out there all of a sudden he's no longer on the face of the earth, never answered any calls or returned any messages - some people are flaky as hell. Another s2ki member had the same experience as well.
