ES Technical Roadsports, www.es-sports.com, in Gardena, CA. They sell a lot of Tein products and do Tein coilover rebuilds/revalves. The do not do mail order sales. Store purchases only.
These guys have no integrity. I called and e-mailed the store to get a quote on some Tein pillowball upper mounts for my WRX and got a price that, even after tax, was lower than online vendors. I went to the store to leave a deposit on the part, and they would pick up the part directly from Tein. The guy at the store, different from the salesman on the phone, would not honor the price I was quoted on the phone. He looks at the Tein MSRP in the catalog and pulls a number out of his head that's HIGHER than other vendors. I just wasted my time and gas driving through crappy southern California weekend traffic.
Unless you need to get Tein coilovers rebuilt or you live close enough to the store where it's no trouble to peek in and check prices in person, I would avoid this place.
