^^ I get employee pricing at honda.
Please PM me the price which you can get complete front and rear CR assembled springs/shocks for. Hard top guy is willing to match any price I can find so I could use your help because he has already ordered the last set in the USA but I have not yet paid.
Isn't HardtopGuy a Honda Employee? Shouldn't you just ask him for his Honda employee price then? And doesn't price matching usually mean, advertised prices, not matching that one guy from the internet?

Rylis, FWIW, every time I've seen this question asked (and may have asked it in the past myself) the resounding answer is, just buy OEM

Employee pricing is likely 10% above cost. It's not advertised pricing, it's employee pricing.

I agree what other echoes. Hardtop guy is a business. It is in a business of making money. It is not a charity house.

$15 is nothing compared to what you will spend on gas for the day. I get stock brake stuff from handaaccesories.com. If you do ground shipping it will arrive in less than 24 hours.

Lol sorry guys I will take some one up on an offer if they price match. Suit yourselves. This applies to brake pads or complete suspension. HTG makes no money from me if I don't support his business so he's happy for me to be a customer. I already ordered my parts pads and suspension.

HTG won't make money unless theres margin... if he sells it to you the same price he gets it for.. hes just getting a refund...

Lol sorry bro I saw a post which was relevant to a situation I was wrapped up in. Secretly I was just bumping your thread because I love you. Lol.

Just go oem. Until you are comfortable maxing out your stock set up there's no reason to go non-oem. Let's me know if you ever want to do more driving in the hills and we can do more downhill runs to practice braking skills!
