this is all i have to say about brands...do your homework, research the company, do they use thier products in race applications? has anyone you know used thier product and liked it? disliked? do you homework and then purchase the product, i have learned the hard way sometimes by going cheap and getting crap. wanna go cheap? then go home! lol

what kind of aplication are yo ugoing to use your car for? Tein is a great company but they are hard and nearly unstreetrable but great for race. Cusco is coilovers are great also they are softer but offer great preformance they are streetable and you can thake the racing no problem. any of those brands make good products but those are the two i prefer. leaning a bit more to Cusco (becasue i have cusco parts)

i'm just talking about overall quality of the products the companies make, not necessarily specific products such as coilovers or what the products the company makes are used for.

In actuality they are all reputable companies and all depends on what brand you like and what you like. If you want JDM then go with JDM products and if you like more home brand stuff then go with that.

its funny you say go more hometown if you like it like that.
i almost never see any good USA products for our cars. OBX and Injen are only a couple that ring bells.

not that i'm knockin the US brands but japan seems to have really got the R&D down.

what are some US brands thay anybody have had good or bad expierances with?>
