A bit overdue on my end, but I'll echo this entire statement. Months ago I was getting ready for a track day and contacted CSG Mike for advice and suggestions as to what parts to go with. We swapped PMs for a few days talking about my experiences on track and my expectations, before getting some great recommendations on parts. I ended up getting brake pads, fluid and a Berk front pipe from them with great pricing and service. There was a slight delay on the Berk part that was out of their control, but they kept me updated and I still got everything in time for my BRZ's first track day.

And after the track day I heard back from CSG David checking in to see how I liked the parts. CSG Mike has been a great resource to the community especially in regard to motorsports, hard core product testing and track-day related advice. Definitely recommend these guys to anyone interested in buying performance parts from them, they are one of the good guys on this forum so we're lucky to have them here.

Couldnt echo this more. I have bugged Mike about tires and oil so far. I think I have my brake pads decided on but may still bug him anyway. Lol

Awesome customer service so far and its nice to know he runs what he sells. Not many companies can say that. My parts are on backorder but I got a great price from CSG and am happy to support CSG as Norcal 86Cup and my first track days are fast approaching.

You've got lots of track videos on YouTube (some with commentary/instruction), put them on your blog or under /videos too!
I second this.

Another successful purchase from CSG,

Placed an order for the Winmax W4s through the group buy (good price!) and Project Mu brake fluid. Had it shipped to my work address, UPS drops off packages at receiving which is open from 0900-1630. For some reason UPS did not deliver that package and returned to CSG after 3 "failed delivery attempts." CSG did not hesitate to resend it, and I am assuming they even paid again for the reshipping costs.

Thanks to Mike and the CSG crew for another job well done.

If nothing else, Mike has take my relentless questions in stride. He seems always willing and happy to answer any question I could have related to improving my driving ability or automotive questions in general. I also ordered a full set of Winmax W4's with PMU fluid from them. The response time was excellent, I received the package promptly with excellent packing and detailed instructions for the bedding. Mike has won me over with his attention to detail and constant enthusiasm; I will definitely be returning with more business for CSG.

I asked @CSG Mike some questions on a brake setup and he was very helpful, providing a list of options and recommendations based on my usage, track experience, and car setup. I went ahead with the order, which I believe @CSG David helped process. Shipping took some time since the AP Sprint kit had to be shipped from Essex to CSG, but that detail was disclosed at the time of order.

Everything arrived well-packaged and accounted for, and even with with some CSG swag.

So far, the brakes feel fantastic! I went with the street pads that Mike recommended, and they are 100% oem-like streetable... smooth braking and no noise. There are some faint whirring noises coming from the J-hooks on the AP rotors, but it seems like it's normal, after talking to Mike.

I'll be trying the race pads in a few weeks.

Overall, good buying experience, and will purchase from CSG again. In fact... I ordered some lug nuts just today. haha
