bought a used fp black jb. had to get it rebuilt a month later.
next would be a "custom" 3" tbe. hella loud and attracts piggys.
last would be lowering the car to about 2" off the ground in the front: tore the main harness up which caused the blinkers and hazards to not work.

Cheap eBay or lower end parts like exhausts, etc. Fitment headaches are not worth a few bucks.
Also, I will never buy gauges again from a non gauge manufacturer. Getting support or replacement parts is a *****.

Fujita products, Still running them but hate them. Also ****ty Greddy intercooler that I was told was a 3 1/2 inch but was actually maybe a tiny bit bigger than stock. Other than that I'm happy with most purchases.

As there are a few on here but ill throw one more to the pile, defiantly clutch. Twin disc are expensive but are soooooo worth it. have 6 puck sprung and i really dislike it. Plus it puts more stress on the tranny then the twin disc. defiantly a part that goes with the motto "you get what you pay for".

I recently purchased a IX, the first thing I did was replace the clutch (PO had worn the previous clutch to the rivets) A friend recommended the Exedy stage 1 kit, I got the HD version thinking it may be a little more durable. After a very careful 500 miles it is still chatters quite a bit when engagement at low RPMs <2500 and its still not that smooth above 2500. English Racing, (installed the clutch) said that particular clutch is known to chatter. Sometimes when I am in stop and go traffic I wonder if I should have gotten the OEM Exedy clutch or one of the English Racing clutches. Live and Learn
Clutch chatter is pretty normal once you move up the clutch chain... You will learn to control it so it is not quite as bad. Now that ive learned mine, I sometimes get it to chatter to mess with people
