Arrow Question about front clip price/availability

I have a 93' 240 and live in Kentucky, wanting more power i am considering the red top sr20 swap. My cousin lives in Cincinnati and knows owners of a shop that sell full s15 front clips, he can get me one for $3200. My question is, first is this a reasonable price? because of location i think it would be tough to find one any closer and I wouldn't have to pay shipping and deal with a business to get it shipped too. I wanted to do a s15 front end conversion anyways so is $3200 reasonable? i see some front clips for cheaper but im weary of buying over two thousand dollars off the internet as it sits in a storage container and i wouldn't even be able to inspect it... thanks for the help!

Where and what is the name of this shop in Cinci? I live in Columbus and will drive to pick one up for that price.

Are you sure that is a full clip or just engine? Also what else is included?

Yeah, its the full front clip, I get that price because my cousin's buddy works there, etc etc. It is for full front clip, it is at ZeroLift Autolabs, hes only saving me like $400. That doesn't include an import tax but it is for the front clip, i suppose it is a good deal then...?

I would buy one for that price right now, plus it's though a local dealer less chance if getting ripped off! Alot of that going around.

Well i'm not sure you can get it for that price, that was quoted to me at a discount, i believe my cousin said it was taking about $400 off or so. Drive down to Zerolift or give them a call, their site is www.zerolift.com, they are located near kings island on the 271 loop i believe, about as north (too me) as kings island.

Linky no work.

You wouldn't happen to know if they have any s13 front clips would you?? Also, do you have their digits. I'm about an hour away and would love to stop in and see their shop. Thanks for your help.

My cousin informed me of this. He told me they are shady, unhelpful and will never return calls and are somewhat ******. But he also told me that they do sell quality products and WILL help you out if your motor has something wrong with it. He bought a Honda (blah!) engine for his dx, and knows how they can be.

I do not know about s13 front clip availability, he said they would have to order a s15 front clip for me. I am not sure of their website, zerolift.com may have it but i'm not sure, or call a directory assistance.

For me it's lack of availability, with this i can drive an hour and a half and actually see what i'm getting and cheaper, not to mention fon't have to find a place to have it shipped. So for me, i'll deal with them, whatever your decision, they still offer the good, service or not =(
