OEM replacement parts? Aftermarket? There's not many options on the eastside. Stay away from Stage. Car Nutz is in Bellevue next to Park Place LTD., but you'll pay a good amount there. There's another one in Bellevue on the street directly behind Magnolia Hi-Fi, but I forget the name.

unless your willing to drive down south to buy and install or get them yourself and they can install it. Xtreme auto salon 253-874-0073. They did my bilstein shocks/structs for like almost 200? which I thought was cheap figuring that they gotta pull the whole suspension apart. One of the guys who work there has an IS300 that was at HIN this past year so they're pretty good at working on our Lex's. Or for a really good deal you'll have to drive further south to spanaway and my mechanic can take care of you.

Damn, was that $200 just for the struts/spring installation? That's pricey man, I'm sure some people locally would be willing to help you install that for like 1/2 or even 1/4th the price.

......I dont know about that again. It was cool to try but IMHO (and food expert opinion) It was a little short on the burger patties and fluffed up with bread. More of a "wanna-be eater" challenge rather then a real mans challenge jk, but seriously, after watching Man vs. Food on the Food Network, that burger seems like nothing. I want to travel the US just to eat at diners. My mouth is watering thinking about it.. MMMMMMMMMMMMM
