This is the first time I've purchased from Cygnus, but their name is familiar to me from the years I've spent on NASIOC. I actually didn't even know they were on this forum, as I've been talking to Geoff through NASIOC exclusively. These guys, especially Geoff, are awesome. Great customer service, great deals, and always willing to answer questions even at really odd times of night. So on to the review...
I'd been shopping for a few Whiteline bushings here and there, checking out which vendor had them for cheapest. A few were more or less in the same ball park of low $90s. I recall a certain vendor here was advertising the lowest price on several Whiteline bushings for a time then mysteriously doubled their shipping cost. In any case I was looking for a deal on the trans mount insert and the rear subframe inserts. Quite fortuitously I saw Geoff bump a thread on NASIOC about how they'll meet AND beat any legit shipped price of Whiteline bushings. Seeing this I went to their site which has a BRZ section that's still under construction. No dice, damn! I PM'd him asking if he could get the entire catalog and what kind of vendor (some places on match/beat "authorized" vendors) they would beat. Geoff simply asked me what the price point of the competitors was and beat it by $10. So we just went from $90 for two pieces of yellow poly to $70. Oh, and free shipping. Damn, that makes me feel good!
The bushings shipped USPS and I had them within the week. It didn't take long, but honestly I forgot I even ordered them so I wasn't counting down the days. When I quizzed Geoff about this, he replied:

Literally the only parts that ship this method are normally bushings or parts going to Canada and Priority Mail guarantees 1 to 3 business days max. All orders go out fully insured and we are going to start using the automated stamps.com delivery confirmation numbers for anything USPS which will give tracking for all orders. 90% plus of the orders shipped with us would go via insured UPS, tracking would go out same business day and they'd reach the North East in 1 to 2 business days.

There were some other pieces I wanted that I did not see on the site, but Geoff just asked me what theu were and what other vendors were selling them for. Boom, I get my next purhase (camber arms) cheaper than anywhere else. Awesome! Geoff says that the site is still being built and they will eventually have their entire product line (all 119+ brands) online, from power, suspension, brakes, all the way to interior. In the meantime, just contact them and tell 'em what you're looking for. He also tells me that they bought their own development BRZ as well, not something many vendors around here can boast. RaceComp, Nameless, AVO, RallySportDirect.com come to mind first. FWIW, Geoff is asking for people to contact him special discounts for those people who are willing to review parts; I'm not one of them as the parts he wants reviewed aren't something I have time for right now due to downtime and other factors, but I encourage people to contact him. Overall, would buy again.
