Bought SS lines, speed bleeders. Overall very pleased. Product delivered quickly as advertised.

Anyone else?

I ordered the same kit as you Colin and was VERY impressed with the service. The guy I talked to (David Kearney) was always helpful and very responsive to e-mails.

they sold me a 2.5" XR-1 and told me it was the Sti version.. they took it back without a problem.. so i guess they are cool. but just make sure you know what you are ordering.

two red bulls a day, i don't even really count cups of coffee anymore. it's sick. prolly around three cups of coffee a day (in addition to above)

caffeine + me = happy.

Gotta love oakos! Order tuesday, arrive thursday! Even answered my brake line question. I think there was a communication snafu about the speed bleeders though.

But still, +1 for oakos from me!

My experience has been that they are not big on returning phone calls.
But they do appear to respond to e-mails pretty quickly.
