Subarule Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 Wondering what your experience was if you ordered anything from them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carfreak85 Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 Nope, never heard of them. I try to stay with the bigger outfits in case something goes wrong, and only roll the dice if I can have a layer of protection, like a CC or PayPal buyer's protection.

I don't blame you, I'm the same way. I'm trying to source shocks and struts for my '86. There is no place online anyone can suggest that I haven't been to and looked at. I already know the part numbers but nowhere but 2kracing has front and back sets all in one place. So the their web page says. Rockauto has one set but not front and rear both. Trust me, I've been all over the internet. I know who has what and for how much$$. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who knows what's going on with "non-essential" businesses these days, or if a car parts place is considered one? I guess I can buy the front set from one place and the rear set from another. As long as the part #s are right. Not a priority right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Numbchux Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 I don't have any experience with them, but judging from the enormous scope of parts that they list, I doubt they actually stock anything, probably just drop ship from other sources. Which means I would not trust what they say they have in stock. I suspect they are one of these sources that just wants to get your information and then they can sell you something else, or tell you the parts are backordered indefinitely. Just my speculation...

Subarule Posted May 22, 2020 Author Share Posted May 22, 2020 I am leery of them as well. I've looked up all the reviews I could find on them and they're not great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 They are going to be a drop-ship middle man. I could do the same thing with any of my suppliers if I wanted to build a web store (I don't). These companies exist only on computer. They have no actual warehouse or stock of parts. Chances are they will cancel the order when the parts aren't actually available. Unfortunately all this stuff is being discontinued and you're only choice going forward will be to haunt eBay for new old stock. GD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subarule Posted May 23, 2020 Author Share Posted May 23, 2020 Someone elsewhere online said they live down the street from the 2kracing building and described the inside of the shop. There is a physical address on the web site and a picture of the building. Doesn't mean that the business isn't a middleman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeneralDisorder Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 Honda rice shop. Trust me they don't have any EA82 struts in the back. Call them - you'll see. GD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aba4430 Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 Sorry if I missed the information above, but what 86 model do you have? Is it an EA82 4WD? If so, you can get a pair of Sachs 4WD struts from Autozone for under $110 with 25% off. Not sure if this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
