Granted I don't feel as strong as you do on the subject, I agree that copied products sold under a different name are wrong.

I don't have knock-off parts. I don't buy or plan to buy "budget" parts. I buy real parts, but I still want to get a good deal on them.

Some people don't care what brand or quality parts they're buying, as long as its cheap. There isn't much you can do about it. Some people will never have enough money, or it will never be practical for someone to spend money on authentic parts.

The people buying copied parts are a small part of the problem. The heart of the problem is at the people making the copies and the laws not prohibiting this action.

It's you and others sharing your disappointment versus thousands who just don't care what you think. (Don't forget, I agree with you.) The only people that can take action against copied parts are the victims themselves.

The thing is that yeah it happens but people shouldn't be supporting the bootleg shit products out in the market place...Companies shouldn't have to prove that their products are better then the knock off stuff, it's rather logical thinking...

as long as there is a market, knock offs will be made. but that's not to say that equates to low quality. even the guy in the first video said that. copyright infringement is one thing, offering affordable alternatives is another. do i feel bad that i bought rims that resemble the "real" rims made by work? no. because i can't justify paying 200 to 300 (or more) bucks per rim. i've got a mortgage to pay, and a family to support. you can flame me all you want but not everyone on this site uses all their disposable income on their cars. if i want to lower my car, and have it look good according to what my tastes are, why should i have to pay a premium if a cheaper alternative exists?

it's the same principle with generic drugs.

you like burgers? do you think only one company should be able to make/sell them because they came up with the idea first? or do you want choices?

how about beer? soda? what kind of bottled water you drink? do you only want to have the option of buying one brand because of the name? or would you buy the store brand, because it's a little bit cheaper and in reality pretty much the same thing?

This topic has gone around about as many times as it can. It's one thing when the owner (or in the video's sake, spokesperson) of a business asks the community not to buy into replica products. There's a sense or respect there that induces thought in the masses (i.e. "hey, why DO I use replica parts?"). What rubs me the wrong way is when indistinguishable members of the community take up the subject with a condescending tone.

Sigh @ thread.

It makes me feel better buying quality parts and supporting the companies that put in good effort in R&D. I would compare it to the music business like buying CD's instead of illegally downloading but I use Limewire like it's a drug. Once in a while, though, the "knockoff" part is better than the original. Case in point, authentic SexyStyle aero vs. Shine Auto "SS" aero.

i agree, the quality of the parts is what concerns me the most when i am looking to buy something. If i can find two parts that are of equal quality then of course im going to buy the cheaper one. More often than not, i end up buying the brand name part because it's a trusted name and i know that i wont have any issues with their products.

The thing that pisses me off about knock-offs is that a lot of people buy the parts knowing that they are cheap, in both price and quality, and then they have the audacity to bitch or complain about the product failing. :nono: I dont care if you choose to buy knock-offs but keep your fucking mouth shut when something goes wrong.

Yes..fuck the replica shit but wait...

Whoever is buying replica stuff obviously can't afford the real deal, so they are not even the potential buyer. So at the end who gives a shit. I have people calling my SP1 and TE37 rotas...I don't give a rat shit.

i've bought knock off, and cheap shit before. I usually end up with the real thing in the end anyways... so why delay the inevitable? But just for good measure... i have an isis intake manifold. its a facking hunk of metal that bolts to the side of the motor so dont try to bash on me. Half of the "authentic" parts are actually outsourced to other countries to be produced cheaper. A friend of mine works in a ups brokerage and see shipments of all sorts and where they come from etc.

Hay man, whatever floats your boat...For me, I'd rather buy the product with the R&D behind it rather then the company who takes the product with the time and money behind it and knocks it off. If a purchase is a few hundred more, then I'd put it off and save up in order to get it.

Technically if a part is a EXACT copy, it will still have the R&D as the real deal.

As much as I would love to support Vertex, I simply can not afford it. Thats why I am still on OEM aero. If I had a budget to be buying $1500+ body kits I wouldn't be driving a 240.

I lol'ed at this. Excellent point made here.

I don't want to join the argument, but it should be known already that knockoff is lame and not supporting the industry. I hate the knockoff companies. I can't afford anything, but I still will only run quality stuff on my car or OEM.

It's like every man for themself. If a reputable company can't make the price of an item cheap enough to afford, then they just have to accept that they won't get as much buisness because of all these knockoff companies. The thing is, some of them, if they go any cheaper they would have to outsource there work to China and that would crush their reputation/quality of the product and make them a knockoff company lol

I have no idea where I'm going with this...I vote to close thread.

to each his own, if someone can't afford a part they buy the replica. i'm sick of people coming off like douche bags about it. some people buy legit, other less fortunate buy replica. would u rather have an overall dope car but with rotas OR your run of the mill slammed on works shit exterior/interior rust box 240 you see????????????????? again, to each his own.

ps. dmax tail lights are like 300+ i bought mine on ebay...proven them to be made at the same plant by the same manufacture (junyan) and i paid 100 shipped. so am i part of the problem? or is it the companies over charging the shit out of the consumer? why would i pay 200 bucks more for the SAME THING!!!!????

knock offs drive the industry. if manufactures had their way, everything would be 10 times the price because there wouldnt be any competition. but there is, so they have to price themselves more realistically or face bankruptcy.

I do agree, generally, that people who are in the market for the legit parts probably aren't cross-shopping with cheap knock-offs.

I highly doubt anyone is seriously cross-shopping real RS Watanabes with Konig Rewinds or something. Most Rewind buyers wouldn't ever be potential Wat buyers anyway, so it doesn't hurt Watanabe.

I'm sure that in some cases, there is some crossover, and it SHOULD be easier for the parts manufacturers to sue the copiers. Obviously, if someone is copying Vertex Aero and marking it like it's legit they're doing something illegal. In the case of, say, Rotas, I don't see the harm. I really think it's the buyers of the real wheels who are getting their panties in a wad over other people coming sorta close to the same look for way less money, I seriously doubt that Ray's gives a shit about someone making bad cast copies of their wheels for 1/4 the price. Totally different customers.

I don't tend to own much knock-off stuff just because any part popular enough to be copied is probably too ubiquitous for me to want to own it, either the original or the copy, at least in most cases. I just like obscure shit, regardless of whether it's Japanese or American, cheap or expensive, or whatever.

There's nothing elitist about buying suspension arms that won't rust up and fail on you.

There's nothing elisist about spending a little more on a suspension arm, to save spending a lot more later on a tow truck, lost time, and a realignment.

There's nothing elitist about buying coilovers that weren't made universally valved for pretty much any car with tack welded brackets on them

You'll all learn eventually, the cheapest people pay twice.
Yeah, but what about me, wanting a car to driftin once a month on the weekends.
Can I buy my entire Godspeed suspension for $800?
Or do I have to pay $3500 for the "best parts"?
I just want to have fun as a weekend warrior, and let some steam off.
Is that ok?????

as stated before, what a lot of people dont know is that, some of these "authentic" parts with the name brand...are actually sometimes produced by the same company that sells the "knockoff" parts
SHEEP is what you are...SHEEP

Thankyou.

Its been said before, this kid is trying WAY TOO HARD.
yes.

IF ANY of these companies were smart, they would also make parts to compete with "knock offs".
You realize that Banana Republic is also the same as the GAP and the same as OLD NAVY.
All the product waters down from the top, and things are made cheaper and not as fitted as they move down to old navy.
Banana Republic was smart enough to realize that if they put their foot into every economic market, they could make some money.

Why doesnt the non "Knock offs" do that???

Heres a question.
What are you wearing??

If you didnt pay $500 for your jeans, THEY ARE KNOCK OFFS !!!
I dont think GAP, Target, Volcom or whatever, had a model walking during fashion week, paying designers to find new trends and doing all the R&D.

But I allow you to wear pants without belittling you.

If you wanna spend the big money on parts and try and supports companies inability to modernize to the world of internet,online shopping, auction houses and peoples ability to search for the best deal for their needs,
do it.

Its your money.
Im sure you will be such a better person 15 years from now.
Im sure everyone wants to hear stories about how you saved for months for a brand name part instead of tracking your ride.
Im sure when your dying, spending 4 years building a car will make you happy, and memories of racing at the track with other car enthusiest wont...............

save up.

and Udon, lets see your car and parts list?
Do you track your car?
are you building the next HIN car?
How long have you owned it?
Do you live at home?

I find most people that are all "no knock offs" live with mommy, or have been building a car for YEARS!!

I actually support motorsports and drive mine. :)

Im not drifting over 55mph on entry and my tires are no wider then 9".

Everyone has their choice, I don't care what you buy. What kills me are the people who think knock-off's kills the company. They seriously think the person would save for the real deal if their wasn't a copy available. Probably not. The people who really want Rays, Vertex, Bride etc are going to buy the real deal, the day dreamers won't, no money is lost period.

First off, a few points.

To those apposing people buying "knock-offs" because they hurt the original company, what is your opinion on people buying used?

Second, many times, "originals" or "name-brand" are just over priced. Is a Tien coilover set up actually any better then PBM or FA coil-overs?

To the people rocking HKS or Zeal and crying about "pay to play" and "cheap posers"... why are you not rocking Ohlins, Bilstine or Penskie racing coilovers?

Is a $500 Takada harness honestly better then a $240 Simpson one?

Man up, go old school, and build your own parts if you are so worried about this crap. 50 years ago you had to actually make your stuff, not simple point-click and paypal it.

there's knockoffs to everything. Digimon was a knockoff to Pokemon. Megan Fox is a knockoff of Angelina Jolie. Tasty Cakes are knockoffs of CupCakes. It happens everywhere. What it comes down to is quality. In the end, you get what you pay for and if the expensive products want to stay profitable then they need to step up their quality or price it more competitively.

In the end it's business.

theres also the difference between knockoff parts for the chassis, which is what the general argument is about...but what about motor specifics...? presonally, as far as motor internals go...yeah...i think thats one i want the actual product that best for it...be it OEM or R&D aftermarket items...

as far as my car goes, did i take a yr to finally get it done, yes, could i have done events withing that year even if my car wasnt done, no....simple fact for my situation was 12hr days weekly, 8hrs weekends...making serious bank, so i decided to make money while i could, im young and can afford to do so...i got to buy some quality parts for my car...i dont feel it wrong to take advantage of the situation if i can...

some people choose to buy what they can, some can afford it righ toff the bat, some are willign to wait till there ready... so be it...

cars are like beer, they all do the same thing, and we each prefer our own flavor...

slider2828

03-24-2010, 03:42 PM

^^ I agree with that......

Seriously though? I buy Megan stuff.... if it sucks then ok buy real stuff.... Personally people should learn about their cars more and the mechanics of the car.... Ok how many peeps know how to read a shock dyno and understand it.... Do people who even drive the car on the edge enough to know the difference? I see it as try it first, read as much about it, if your knock of breaks, try to figure out why and then now educate yourself about why the authentic or more expensive stuff maybe better... Personally this is JDM stuff, people who know can just go to a Hot Rod Shop, Summit, or Pegasus etc and just buy and make their own stuff that is even better than the expensive JDM stuff at probably 3/4 the cost.....

You can stuff all the nice car parts into a car and yet dunno how to tune it, its still a piece of shit.... Learning about setup, engine tuning, reading a dipstick correctly, to tuning suspension and actually controlling the car... Spend money or time on the basics first.... Not all JDM stuff is good and not all Chinese stuff is bad and yes US stuff is good too!!

Unique to the Sustec Stabilizer is it's FULL CHROMEMOLY steel alloy construction. Chromemoly's strength is such that a small diameter chromemoly anti-swaybar is significantly stronger than the standard steel anti-swaybars that are larger in diameter.
Chromemoly anti-swaybars, which have typically only been readily available to race users are now available to all motorsport enthusiasts for a reasonable price!"

"Built for the driving enthusiast, the GODSPEED Stabilizer emininates roll for exceptional stability and maximum tire contact patch and grip.
Unique to the GODSPEED Stabilizer is it's FULL CHROMEMOLY steel alloy construction. Chromemoly's strength is such that a small diameter chromemoly anti-swaybar is significantly stronger than the standard steel anti-swaybars that are larger in diameter.
The GODSPEED Stabilizer has a carefully calculated OUTER and INNER diameter, for the proper amount of rigidity. The diameter and strength cannot be compared to other commonly available anti-swaybars due to the vast difference in material construction.
Chromemoly anti-swaybars have typically only been readily available to race users. The GODSPEED Stabilizer makes this lightweight, extremely functional race material technology available to all motorsport enthusiasts for a reasonable price!"
