Another great article by in-your-face Eric Hsu. The man knows his stuff.

 

I read some of the other stuff on the site. This was insightful:

i agree with 99% of everything on there, but i gotta tell you, the link i found in that article with the brembo caliper covers is kinda cool idea if it actually holds up. would i ever put something like that on my evo? HELL NO!!! but my DD 89 civic's calipers are pretty rust and those covers would clean it up pretty good, haha!!

 

motoiq.com is the new mecca for legitimate gearheads. A collective from Eric Hsu, Mike Kojima, Dave Coleman, and alot of other great minds.

 

Well, you buy what you can afford and you know that when you pay for it. I am always one to experiment first though. I hate paying 500 for an aluminum radiator when I can get the same damn thing without the name for under half. Mishimioto is actually decent stuff. I have heard nothing but good things about them.

I still believe you pay for the name on half of these high dollar products. Dont expect a 5 or 600 dollar set of coilovers to last you years!

I actually saw a koyo aluminum radiator a few months ago and I was very disgusted with the quality.

 

The light racism was a nice touch (HURR CHINESE/RICE DURR), but it's not like he said anything more informed than "you get what you pay for". The only exception to the rule being overpriced JDMU TYTE parts.

The Asperger-grade rant on doing customer service was also pretty entertaining. He gets all butt-hurt by dealing with "stupid people" and then vents on the internet? Hilarious.

 

Some of those links are very good insight into the crap that is made and marketed by some of these companies. But his constant rambling, cursing, and ranting annoys me so I quit reading
