Default Anyone ever buy from this site?

buycoilovers.com

I came across them while searching for a good price on some CS-II's. At $499 shipped they seem to have everyone beat, even Progress' HT promo. I also saw this site promo'd by RedlineMotive in THIS thread over in the sponsor's marketplace.

Is this legit? Anyone buy from them yet? Trying to find out as much as I can about them before I commit. I tried searching google but all it came up with is web rankings, links to the site and various promo threads on a couple other forums, but nothing in the way of buyer feedback.

Do this. Contact the Progress rep in the Marketplace and have them check that site out and see what they say.

Contacted them, says the never heard of the them, waiting to hear if they'll honor the warranties of CS-II's purchased from buycoilovers.com.. Also heard back from buycoilover's customer service, as it turns out buycoilovers.com is a subsidiary of RedlineMotive.com which happens to be an HT premium sponsor which is looking good. But the bad part, they just sold out....

Here's the reply I got from them..

Redline Motive <sales@redlinemotive.com> to Pat <******@gmail.com>

Sorry, we just sold our last one yesterday. We will not have more until 1/30.

Thanks

Progress seems to have trouble keeping up with demand. Finding sellers who have them on the shelf is not always easy.

True dat. Especially over here in West PA, demand is so high here that shops sell them for $700-$850+ a set because they are honorarily "Certified" for Pittsburgh roads.

Yes unfortunately. West PA has so few shops in the area that many tend to really over inflate their prices. But it's not all bad, it encourages more people to learn how to work on their cars themselves and maintain a DIY mentality, also makes what little scene we have more close knit.

But when it comes to getting a hold of parts, we are pretty much limited to ordering online so we don't get ripped off.
