It's the lower plenum gaskets that are $75. You need two of them. The one you're talking about is cheap.

I've heard a few complaints about the quality of service from that place. It's not always about best prices. Being treated right and getting the right thing in good time goes a little farther in my book.

Coz is the man, plain and simple.

I got my upper intake plenum gasket at my local dealership, $5.75, no shipping of course.

Actually I have heard complaints too (via aim). Wrong parts sent and an excessive amount of time to ship were the main ones.

Here's complaint #1

https://www.zdriver.com/forum/showthread.php?t=11195

I looked for the other one. you might remember, the guy ordered new springs from amz and after waiting a while he received like three front springs and one rear spring. And then couldn't get any response from amz on the problem so he posted here.

Another guy a little longer ago, had ordered some stuff, waited 3 months, never received anything. didn't get any response from emails or phone calls to amz. his statement here was that he was just out of his money.

I kinda expect this treatment from ebay sellers. But not from a retailer who is a paid advertiser on a internet forum.

just my 2 cents ($.02) on this thamn issue.

The above complaints are definitely enough to keep me away. I kinda expect this treatment from ebay sellers. But not from a retailer who is a paid advertiser on a internet forum.

ha ha.... speaking of 00evan, it looks like he mighta been booted off of 300zxc.
In regards to those springs...Sprint F'd up and I had to fix the situation with Spring springs...It was their error not mine.

Secondly...Who said that AMZ was out of money?...also depending on the product of where it derives from and IF its in stock deams it a different story by shipping standards. What many customers fail to realize that they order products off our site then expect it to be shipped out via 2 day express. All our shipments are ground unless the customer requests otherwise.

No company is perfect by all means...everyone has their ups and downs I just find it hard to believe that I hear these complaints from third parties not from the original person who ordered. I for one get back to emails everyday unless Im not available and I'm tied up with the phone or a project.

Well....... mr. lukass asked for the specifics. I guess this should go to off topic now.

SHWAZ ordered Greddy IC's from them and they took over 3 weeks to show up.

BTW...none of us listen to what 00 says. He's just a whiney, thinks-he-knows-it-all little b*tch.

What I heard was mostly "Mitch said the part would be here last week but its not" kind of thing. Won't mention any names since if they want to bring it up with you or the public they will.


I have never dealt with AMZ personally, but blah blah blah I'm a bit skeptical.

BTW it wasn't just ZBabe that made the decision; the mods pretty much unanimously agreed, so you can stop blaming her.
