Fraud Warning.
Recently member civicSiR1 claimed that he could get a set of Toda Fightex coilovers for 600 which included a camber kit. (normally 100-200 alone.) The ones that he was claiming to sell are the Type ST: (Seperate Tank) which retail at $3,380. So in otherwards, he was trying to give me a $2700+ discount. Sounded too good to be true. I asked him for a picture of them along with tons of other questions, he always found a way to avoid the picture question. To be even safer, I asked him if paying with Escrow.com would work, kinda gave me one of those, "i will try me best, you can trust me kind of things" I replyed, "this is a ton of money for me and i will only pay with Escrow."... no response.
Also I asked him why he was selling them so cheap, he said that AKH was having a big promotion last month. I did some investigaing....

Colin, (urg, you spelled my name wrong )
Thank you for your e-mail and interest in TODA Racing. Â That's pure
B.S., we
have never had any whole sales on TODA or FIGHTEX products. Â And we
don't
make any kits called "Full Kits", that's B.S too. Â Hope this helps.
Best Regards,

Recently a on an online classifieds, someone was
selling a pair of fightex coilovers for a great price.
It is almost one of those 2 good to be true kind of
prices. Anyways I asked him why so cheap and he
responded...
why am i selling it for so cheap? last month
AKH had a huge whole sale.....i bought what they
called Full Kits.....Full kits are everything Toda
offer for a specific car.....so i got most of
everything of civics and integs....for the retail
price of 4300
To make this deal on these fightex legit, can you
please tell me if from time to time you (AKH) ever do
these sales.
Just to be on the same side, If I do decide to buy
them, I am taking all the precautions by going through
Escrow.com (like paypal but also with a COD and a
middle account for the money to be held until they are
delivered.)
Can you please tell me honestly if you ever sell
theses "Full Kits"
Thank you,
Collin
