We don't play this game. We don't evaluate parts based on name. We evaluate parts based on how well they do their function and how much R&D a company puts into their parts.
If you want opinions about parts, then ask about specific parts and what you plan to do with the car.

Its a piece of metal.
Crashco makes some good stuff and some bad stuff. So does Tanabe. Pretty much what is considered "useful" in the way of parts has already been covered in graphic detail.
Price =/ quality, reliability or performance

Cusco roll cages are weak sauce and I don't understand how they could use such thin piping when it comes to a roll cage. For that one reason I will never trust cusco. Why go cheap when its someones life?

sorry to steal the thread but what kind of strut bars/ sway bars do you guys have? I thought about it, and realized i dont think too many companies actually put too much R&D into our cars, if it was a popular platform like a supra or something it would be a bit different but i made the mistake of thinking all strut bars wouldnt be that greatly developed and therefor ill get one i can get a good deal on. I got a really good cheap on brand new vibrant struts, FU, RU, and RL and havn't installed htem yet. Wondering if you guys have any input, are these pieces garbage and should i sell them and get my money back before even installing, or are all strut bars not really going to do to much for our cars and therefore i should stick with them. Hopefully you guys with more experience can help, i just got tein flex coilovers this summer and wanted something to help out a bit more because tracking it was a blast. Open to any suggestions and criticism.
