I got mine through the Group Buy FROM HELL here on the forums. Took almost a full year to get them. (after paying up front) I think I saved like $25 or $30 over retail
The teins retail for about $145 or so and the guy charged me $15 for powdercoating.
what's the matter? don't want that SEXY green color???
I'm pretty sure some of the vendors here can get them. Let me look around

The endura-tech is $175 today.
The CF would match good.
Or, I can get the Tein, and powdercoat them yellow like my brakes.

Fluid Motorsports has them for $145.
If you register to their site as an 8club member, you get $10 off your first $100 order
Dampers

discount

that enduratech sounds like a good price. Only question is how's the fitment. I don't know anyone who has them yet and Ngo bought some hood dampers last year (forget the brand, not endura) and they were horrible. Hood kept popping when he opened / closed

p.s. if I scuff up the paint on my calipers again, I think I'm going the same route as you with the powdercoat. I dont care if the car is out of comission for a few days, I've got the explorer and I've taken those calipers apart enough times that I'm pretty sure I could do it quickly.

hey guys...I think you could get a set of RB springs for a steal....if you check this ebay listing, looks like the guys has no idea that the springs he is selling are not stock ones. Anyone wanting a set of RB springs for cheap...check it out.

yeah, go figure huh.....I'd actually rather spend time on other forums than ebay....but every once in a while I check to see whether anyone is actually selling stock parts that I still have in my garage. I would love to sell them, but doesn't look like anyone is interested in stock airbox pieces, or a stock flywheel.
update on Ghost
Ghost found out yesterday that he actually melted his clutch, flywheel and pressure plate together. All three were ruined, but I doubt he wants to go back to stock. I guess he said that it was the compound his ACT clutch was made out of. I guess the ceramic overheated from him having to slip the clutch and it call melted together. He had to slip the clutch in traffic because it was a pucked clutch (only slightly sprung).

that does NOT sound like fun.
what flywheel did he have? He should talk to Charles R. Hill about replacements.

for those interested: Nissan 370z spy photos.

looks smaller, fenders are flared out much more, the back window slopes down much sharper.
