Yes I understand that Mitsubishi is a Japanese company, but i support them because they have a plant here in IL, so i actually know people that are employed by Mitsu(and they make an attractive 4dr AWD vehicle). And even American based companies outsource many of their raw materials from foreign companies so whats the real difference.??? I also understand that HKS make quality products, like i previously stated before. But I will always consider an American company over foreign if there was a choice.

These companies have a great roll in our tunning community. For example, these companies fabricate and sell their products, which employs fabricators, engineers, sales persons, technicians, ( I went to school with many business and engineering majors and I can guaranty you they are not looking for work in japan)
With there business, also provides revenue to shipping companies, financial institution, and vendors that sell their products.
Also, it can also be a pride thing, knowing that an American company can make some quality parts for high performing vehicles, even imported vehicles.

So 4drboost, I agree with you about the quality of HKS, but sometimes its better to think about the bigger picture. but it is a free market and country.
