Is Super Autobacs a name to a shop? If it is, without a Japanese address, I won't be able to get to it anyway. I have been to couple of car part super stores there. They sell really general products there. Nice stuff, but just not exactly what I was looking for. They are the Pep Boys of Japan, but with higher quality stuff. BTW, they have pretty nice Japanese rims there at those stores. Manufacturers we've never heard of, but nice looking rims.
If I have time, I will swing by the general car part stores again this time around.
The Super Autobacs is the larger version of the Autobacs chain. Lately, especially in Tokyo environs, they carry a lot of Subaru stuff. B4's have a tremendous following lately. So you can find STI and Prova, Zerosports, and a couple of other makers stuff on display/for sale at the place mentioned above, the tokyo bay super autobacs. Much recommended.
The problem with actual tuner shops in Japan is that they are just that, a shop usually, so don't carry much stock in the shop itself. Just order it when they need it from their warehouse. Usually the Super Autobacs has much more stuff on display.
