Well, I just had my first experience with these guys, anyone care to share their experiences?
They sell Chinese rods, etc. and I noticed two different prices for the same part, it was explained to me that the "store" could sell them cheaper, so i bought thru the store, last Friday. Today, I asked for a tracking number and recived a response that pi##ed me off! I was informed that they received their order today and the rods were not available, yet their ad claimed 10 sets available and only showed one purchase, then comes the hook, they do have the H beam rods in stock, of course the h beams are like $150 extra! In the auto business this is called a bait and switch, but this time they got my money before pulling the hook!
I am waiting to see how they handle the situation, and then I will post the results, until then, if anyone has dealt with this comnpany, please chime in regarding customer service and especially quality of parts.

waiting for refund to "clear" Sold non existent parts and tried to capitalize but I think he did me a favor, I hear the rods from PPR are perfect! and they don't charge $25 to ship

I had been looking/watching the exact same rods. I liked the fact they have 7/16 bolts. I see the listings were removed.

actually, the ad stated APR bolts, they never answered if they were ARP or APR, I ordered a set from pacific perfromance and they have 7/16 ARP bolts and with free shipping, actually came up less than the first price 909 listed them at. My main concern with this company is that they had two different prices, both ads listed more than 10 sets available, and only showed a single purchase before me, then suddenly they only have the $330 rods, now they have had my money for nearly a week and I still don't have anything to show for it. If it sounds too good,......

Yeah, I think I'll give PPR another shot. I have a new set of the CAT floating rods but I'll be goig with TRW pistons since I already have the set.

I'm only doing this once, i picked up the ultralights, they seem to be a much higher quality than the 5140. and can't beat the weight! Still have not received my money from 909:(
