The guys over at CounterSpace Garage are awesome to work with. In my opinion, 'CSG' should stand for "Customer Service Gurus" as they were super helpful in answering my questions and helping me track down my Jackson Racing Oil Cooler.

Keep it up, CSG! I'll hit you guys up when I need consumables!

Parts looked great and brand new and was packaged well.

Would highly recommend and buy again (assuming the Cdn dollar goes back up)!

Two thumbs up!

@CSG David actually bought that same Spoon part as well for his personal S2000 CR to replace his J's Racing unit and also waited the same amount of time.

Oh don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining - I told Mike I wasn't in a rush and I wasn't

He was very up front with me stating that it would take a while and I appreciated that honesty and up front-ness.

Sorry! Messaging @CounterSpace Garage cuts out the messenger and is often faster

Great service before during and after the sell. I couldn't be more pleased with my decision to buy from CSG. @CSGDavid and @CSGMike are here providing information free of charge, they answer PMs and phone calls too. I ordered a JR supercharger and oil cooler, Ace header, and Delicious tune from them and have received all but the header. The header will be a wait, they made sure I knew that before completing the order process. I got the other items and installed them, and CSG was available to help. I had problems getting a reflash to work on my car on a late Saturday afternoon, I am on the other end of the country. When I called, Mike answered the phone and guided me through the process of getting it working. It was my own error... I will do business with them again!

As chance would have it, I happened to be able to answer the phone at the moment you called.

I can't promise that I can pick up every call that comes in on a weekend though!

I've been running the stock suspension with Swift lowering springs for the past two years. While I was satisfied with the Swift springs initially, I noticed that while the ride was comfortable, the rear end felt mushy with wallowing when hitting dips mid-turn in sweepers. Road bumps and dips caused my car to bounce around. I spoke to @CSG Mike about it after reading this thread and purchased a set of Tein Flex Z coilovers from CSG after discussing it with him. They arrived a couple of days after paying (I'm local in socal though).

I just got them installed today and the difference is immediately noticeable.
Immediately after install, I felt that the suspension was firmer, yet the ride was smoother during the test drive. Road noise was reduced as well - most noticeably on the freeway. Ride height is approximately 1/4" lower than the Swift lowering springs, which is still a practical height without any rubbing. I didn't want it slammed. I'm going to be adjusting the settings based on my daily route to work over the next week or so, but I'm starting out with soft settings right now. So far, I'm happy with how it feels even without changing the settings - what a big improvement over what I had. It now feels much closer to what I imagined/hoped it would. Thanks to @CSG David and CSG Mike! (and also to West End Alignment who did the install, align and corner balance).

Kudos to you guys at CSG! Got my Flex Z the day after the transaction! Really fast shipment. Pricing is great, very good communication as well throughout the transaction.

Hope to get the suspension installed soon. Thanks again CSG!
