ARC is it coming back up??

Hey guys there are rumors that ARC might be coming right up, I know they are kind of expensive but the parts look so good. What would people say when this Brand hits the market again?

They've been back in business for a few months now, no real changes as the parts are super expensive for little payoff unless you want them for looks.

Sounds to me like a bunch of people hate on ARC because of price, so they can't afford the real JDM parts

No, it's because for that kind of money, you can buy a ton of parts that actually make good power rather than look flashy.

ARC products are nice to look at and thats it.... i couldn't see spending $1500 bucks for an intercooler when you can get a better quality one for half the price. as well as their dress up engine bay parts, very nice looking but who the hell is going to spend $400 bucks for a spark
plug cover???

If you don't like our comments, then why make a thread about this and ask for our opinions???

Yup thats me. I can't afford pricey JDM parts so I decided to go fast instead.

And for the record the "hate" you speak of is actually not hate at all, its common sense. if you have the desire to waste your money on something because of the brand name then by all means KIM (Keep it Movin).

BUT

Don't call people who have either been there and done that (Me) or didn't make the mistake of buying something because of the name haters. It just makes us smarter.

ARC's US business dropped of for more reasons then the economy. Pretty. Works. But WWAAYYY over priced.

Better quality, better performance for less than half the price from any decent American manufacturer... I laugh at anybody wasting money on ARC junk.
