I went to Xtreme Horsepower and was very disappointed with them. This is how it went.

Me and my brother walked in and i was looking for ONE Decarbon for my 02 SS and the son was like NO SS comes with DeCarbons and i was like get your **** straigt bud yes they do. So the owner goes into the back looks for a single shock, Brings back 2 front Struts. This is exactly what i needed, but only 1, Just to get me buy until i buy Koni's. Well the shocks that he brang out were in pretty bad shape, all rusted, he swore they were of a WS6 with only 3,XXX miles on it. So i was like ok how much do I owe you? (Didn't think that they would realy want but like 10 dollars for them) The owner says $75 bucks I said "I just need one how much for it? Owner tells me in a very snippy voice "Well I don't have any use for the other, It dosen't matter to me if you need just 1 or 2 but to get 1 you are going to have to buy both". I said I will have to think about that and left. So in a recap they are a bunch of dumbass that work there and dont obviously know what is going on. I will never go back to them for the life of god.

Xtreme Horsepower = Xtreme Ripoff or Xtreme Dumbasses
