I would like to start off this review by saying I couldn't find very many reviews on this place, but on the ones I did find, they were very pleased with their purchase.

YAMATO GARAGE (Founded and Run by Donovan Gutshall out of Wentzville, MO)
My first impressions of Yamato Garage were very promising but when I sent in the money for my Advertiser Special I had no idea what I was getting into. The advertiser special had actually ended about a week before my order, but I had been quoted long before the order ended. I call him to make sure I don't need to send him more money. So Donovan being such a great guy gave me the equipment for the special. I was so dumbfounded and thankful. So, I ordered it after hours on a Thursday [8/6/09] not realizing the special was over and called on Friday [8/7/09]. Awesome! So then I call on Monday [8/10/09] to see what was going on and he tells me that it will ship out later that day and I could call later and get the tracking number. Also excellent. I try to call him back later that day but don't get an answer. I wasn't too worried as I was told it would ship out. I call him the next day and he answers to tell me that he's working on the YamatoGarage project car. OK, I can accept that. I can understand the love for wanting to work on a drift car. I gave him my e-mail to get a tracking number and he said he'd PM me on Zilvia. Much to my surprise he called me later that day and gave me the number. Arrived at my house less than 48 hours later. Looks like some VERY sturdy parts. I'm very excited to put them on.

Summary: Great parts, easy to reach, great prices. I am definitely buying my rear suspension parts from these guys. YamatoGarage and Donovan are awesome.

Just got their s14 rucas and toe rods in. It was about a week since I ordered them. So good timing especially since they're all the way in Missouri and I'm in California! Anyways, the s14 ruca's are so beefy and the welds look amazing. Same goes for the rear toe rods. I also loved the rucas and toe rods' purple finish. Soo hypebeast haha. j/k. I really can't wait til I install and run these parts.

Lots of cred for yamato garage.

I also order their oil cooler kit. Awesome customer service. They gave me a free t-shirt and stickers for a very slight error in communication with my order. No major concern at all. The oil cooler is super. Yes great quality. Quick response in PMs. I also signed up for the fuel rail group buy. Just waiting on the go signal to pay.

Two thumbs up for Yamato Garage. I made my first order a month or two ago on their whole multi-link setup however, they had ran out of traction rods and assured me they'd give me the sale once they come back in stock. I also ordered an oil cooler. The lines leaked, they assured me that they were pressure tested before they were sent out and I was refunded my money and was told to keep the lines. I have the oil cooler set up now with new lines and couldn't be happier. I think the lines may have just been damaged in shipping? Now I'm waiting on those tracton rods and an alignment.

THESE ARMS ARE BEEFY! I'm pretty excited.
