Just wanted to share two great experiences with Tony at Deviate Motoring in Houston. He help me with the purchase of my HRE P43SC wheels for my 2003 Nissan 350Z. And just yesterday I placed an order for a set of Forgeline MD3P wheels for my 2012 Infiniti G37S. He has helped numerous customers with getting wheels for their; Vipers, Vettes, Camaros, Lambo's, Ferrari's, and GT-R's to name a few.

So if you're in the market for some wheels give him a holler! He sells the following;

360 Forged, ADV.1, Axiom, Bespoke, Bonspeed, Boze Alloys, Cor Forged, D2 Forged, DPE, Fikse, Forgeline, Forgestar, HRE, iForged, Modulare, Modular Concept, Nutek, Rushforth, System Forged

I've known Johnny for over 10 years and he does great work with plenty of happy customers. AwesomeZ does good work and I don't know wtf Kozmic is and Rambo...really...nuff said!

Everyone I knew @ SSP now works @ D3 Performance Engineering, who does top notch fab work. Good to know, thanks!

What about a cage builder that can do roughly SCCA/NASA spec rollcages at reasonable rates? I've found a few random ones in the actual Houston area, but no real idea how good they are. Had a few recommendations on known-good ones, but they're all a significant drive from Houston.

D3 Peformance Engineering does great work, but its probably not cheep. I know a guy through JTran that builds off road/baja style trucks who does great cage work. You could even buy an aftermarket cage and get some one to weld it in for you. Ill be doing one of these options in the near future.

Default I'm late to the party:

I just got a quote from AwesomeZ to install a Stillen Anti-rollbar kit and Eibach springs.

$320. I will let anyone know how it goes if there is interest.

If that includes alignment, that's pretty good. If it doesn't, that's just alright.

The rep I spoke to said that is with an alignment. I'm pretty stoked about this!

Considering the cost of an alignment either way, I'd hapily drop a couple hundred bucks to avoid doing springs myself. The sway bars are a 30 minute job I'd DIY, but they've got to come off to do the springs anyway. Might as well let them handle it. FYI- I've got the Eibachs and I needed a camber kit in the rear to get it aligned in spec. I ended up doing F/R camber kits and toe bolts. Just don't be shocked if they can't get it dialed in 100%.

Thanks for the heads up. I'm okay with slightly more negative camber than stock in the rears.

I have no shame to admit that I am horrible at working on cars, so I'm probably going to let them do the work. I've always been better at driving.
