    If you get them through headstrong there is not the issue. Mine got to me in no time.

    He waited for months on All Pro, not Deaver. Much less bush beating with Deaver

    NEXT time you do front brakes..use a large flat blade screwdriver and pry pads away from rotor to shove pistons back to full "away"....

    Then remove calipers if changing rotors.

    No need to even remove calipers if just changing pucks.

    Toyota disk brakes are the easiest of any brand I know of.

    So are V6 spark plugs...just finished mine. I was dreading them. 45 minutes start to finish!

    Except that he's gotten run around on shipping now 3 times by my count, and still doesn't have a real ETA for when he's gonna get the damn springs lol.

    Waiting a long time but knowing there's a light at the end of the tunnel is better than being totally clueless and jerked around repeatedly IMO

    Hmmm....you do have a point there.

    Guess I've missed the part that he's gotten 3 shipping updates without anything actually shipping.

    Just do EBC. YELLOW kit and end it at that. I'm having to be light on the pedal now or else end up on the hood.

    I've got in the habit of calling Headstrong FIRST no matter what. If Marie cant get what I'm wanting THEN I try elsewhere.

    She is DA BOMB!

    But I dealt with a killer vendor that I didn't have headaches to deal with and free shipping :p. Not sure if they stock them or have them drop shipped but they have more pull with deaver than little ol me so they can rush them more.

    I really like mine. I didn't think they would be that flexy but I went with the b110 bilsteins and damn they got some flex.

    I ordered through headstrong, toytec, and wheelers when I pieced my lift together because there were things at each place that I wanted and the others didn't have. If I were to rank my experience headstrong #1 then wheelers then toytec.

    Each one had something that was going to take longer to ship headstrong was on top of it the most then wheelers then toytec. Wheelers and toytec called hs just sent me an email. Toytec dropped the ball after that initial call. I called them because I had my lift install planned at my buddies place and needed my stuff. Called them they had no clue where my stuff was finally called me the next day and said it should be there today. But i really like dealing with wheelers and hs I will continue to do as much of my business through them as possible.
