Effective starting in December, all hard parts will see a 5-10% price increase Urethane body kit parts are uneffected (for now), but parts like the FSTB, RSB, exhausts, etc.. have been upped.

So if you want to get parts, get it now before it goes up!!!!!

nah, inflation..

some of my brake pricing will be increased at the end of this year, too. It looks like the 4th gen front pads will go up from $25 to $29 and the rear pads from $38 to $42. Nothing huge, but increases nevertheless.

It ain't inflation, we talked about this today in my econ class, inflation for the past few years has been around only 2%. . . This doesn't justify 5-10%

gawd dammit.

freakin' stillen. i swear. all they want is money money for what? they haven't bettered their customer service at all. they haven't provided better products. they haven't done crap except raise their prices and exploit their monopoly on Nissan Parts..

well i for one don't give a hoot for stillen. they treat their customer base terribly... i wish they would get it into their heads that a return customer is more important than making money..

I visited Stillen a few weeks ago . . .

and was really surprised at the size of their operation. They've got cubicle after cubicle of salespeople taking orders on one side of the street and a warehouse full of service people on the other. I've seen big time auto dealerships that don't have their head count. With that kind of overhead, it's no wonder they have to charge a premium for their parts.

they have not had price increases for awhile, so it's more than justified. Most people get at least 3-5% raises each year...

boy I remember some years back Stillen actually cared for Max owners and Nissan owners. Now all the freekin ricers give him more business so the attention is that way. Seems like he's forgotten who got him to where he's at now. Keep jacking prices up, B4 Long there'll be other tuners makeing stuff for Nissans while Stillen keeps jacking prices up, prolly don't need him real soon, the time is almost here now.
