Unfortunately SSR are bunch of shady peeps. Unless you live down the street from their shop(they do very little there because most of the work is sub'd out) to stay on top of things, you may be getting a bill that is not what was originally stated.

They claim to do the work and have a dyno to test their kits on, but in truth the have different people put the kits together. This wouldn't be such a big deal if they didn't lead people the believe that they/themselves fab up the whole kits in house. Plus when asked direct questions they can't answer with a direct answer. Its almost like talking with a politician. The reason is SSR has abosolutely no idea what is invovled with the cost in fabbing up a kit until they hear back from the sub contractors as to what the sub's cost is for being involved with the development of a set up.

Although the kits seem to be good kits, just let it be known you have be fairly warned.
