Evening folks. I was wondering if anyone on here has much experience of the above company? I'm looking at buying their TRD springs and topmounts, which seem nicely priced.

Not heard of them. We do have a discount available from some suppliers such as Fensport who have been good enough to support the Toyota and GT-Four tuning community for many years. Worth checking them out to see how they compare. Certainly worth shopping around for a good deal.

They seem to have some pret good prices, significantly cheaper than Fensport on a number of items.

Worth doing research before spending your hard earned though.

They seem to be legit. Some other Japanese marque forums mention their professionalism. Think I'll do part of the order to test them out. I will report back with my findings.

Yep I had a quick google and it seems to be mostly positive feedback.

Let us know how you get on. I will likely make an order myself shortly.

One other thing... Am I entiltled to the 10% Fensport discount as a member of this club? I don't have a membership number, but i'm guessing that since the membership became free there's no cards etc sent out.

^^^Phoned them and it seems not, which I kind of expected. This means that Futuremotorsports are cheaper... if they ever get back to me!

Happy to provide additional 'negotiating' firepower if this is confirmed :twisted:

Update. I decided not to use futuremororsports.com, as they never returned my calls, or responded to my online form queries. I'm not spending a few hundred quid somewhere that ignores their potential customers!
Also, i've decided to go for TEIN lowering springs, which can be sourced cheaper elsewhere.
If anyone knows a cheap place for top-mounts, i'f be interested to hear.

I have heard commented that the prices quoted are definitely excluding VAT making them not quite so amazing deals.

Aye, with vat n delivery the price was just dearer than fensport if 10% discount applies. Which we've established doesn't, but camskill were cheap for Teins so they got my coin. I was swithering between them and TRD anyway.
