But the whole point of using a broker is that you don't have to find the cars!

His website is easy to use though. Isn't there a similar setup on the other pages too, just that you have to sign up with them to be able to access it

I wish. Just a man who is prepared for the consequences of owning an awesome car!

Thanks CB. Will have a further look into it when the times come.

Instead of using a broker, why not save the time and hassle and buy one that is already here?

Go for Todd's tie rods/steering arms. Its better for wheel alignment since it is adjustable. Helps with the toe and lower camber settings.

Carizma International is the best of the three. IMHO no flashy website, but they are very informative and you can't beat them on price. Ask for Jon, he has been doing it for many many years.
Tell him Ross sent you and he will hook you up.

Won't be needing more camber adjustment anytime soon as it's mostly a street driven car so nothing too aggressive. Tho i'm looking to fix or reduce the horrendous bump steer and tracking i've been getting aswell as the unhealthy looking tie rod angles. Would the todd tie rods help?

Been also looking at the inverted tie rod ends on clubrsx, but not too sure on the durability of the spherical joint that has no boot, and being subjected to all elements.

Beat them on price? Most brokers charge a set $1100 service fee. All brokers do is paperwork and provide advice.

I don't mean through a dealer, for instance I am selling mine privately at the moment for genuine reasons (new work car arriving tomorrow for new job and only have one car space and want to buy another house). Are there many privately that you have looked at?

Changing the tie rods will make a bigger difference in your case. I haven't seen too many good aftermarket ones. Dedy from Top One recommend the ones on ClubRSX though. He said they were good quality.

I can't help you with bump steer. My current settings are way too aggressive lol. You can make your toe more neutral and it will help with the issue
