Default LR vs SFR

I am looking for an honest opinion on both vendors (LR & SFR). What are your experiences of both/either?
thanks

They are both good vendors, I've never had a problem with Lindsey and they have great customer service. I have never bought anything from SFR but I've never heard any bad things about them.

range and price it has to be Lindsey .
there are plenty of vendors that can beat lihdsey on this or that odd items but if you wanted to throw a 5or 6k wad at a 951 i can't imagine any vendor could give you the value and choice Lindsey could

Do your own homework Mike.

This has been well covered.

I've bought lots from Lindsey, mostly wiring harnesses. No issues on any point at any time. Paragon and 944Online have been excellent, too.

I bought a set of headers from SFR. Fabulous piece, and I am quite happy with them. However, I ordered and paid for an EBG bung, which was not installed. I called the shop, and they promised to refund the cost of the bung, but it never happened. Not a big deal, but you may want to watch the details .... To be honest, if I wanted another set of headers, I would go right back to SFR. Nobody is perfect, and I love the headers.

I personally don't have a problem with either of them and buy parts from both. I like the amount lindsey offers but I also like the technology SFR offers. I've also been to the SFR shop and must say they know what they're doing. Instead of judging on opinion, which can be found trough search; give each one a try and you decide.

FWIW, I'm willing to guarantee you that neither company will intentionally screw you over.
Feel comfortable buying from either one.

Sorry to be the resident nerd... but, if your equation is like this:

+6581681616816851651849849871384984151984519/(965198981984*68498468496196168168468161616816816816816884+1)

That will actually = less than 1...

Only bought from SFR...shipping could be stepped up a bit. I wouldn't expect your parts to come the same week...
