Why you should think twice before buying HKS products

[Goat Blower]

Sad to hear, but I can relate. I also called their "tech" line way back in the day when I was having problems with my VPC, they were absolutely worthless and the tech obviously didn't care if I had a problem with their product. Back then, they were a major player, I didn't know they were anymore since so many new companies have come along with better, more cost effective products.

Meh, I say screw them. Like everyone already said, HKS is way overpriced compared to other brands of comparable quality, and to hear that such an established manufacturer in the performance industry is willing to be that shady is shocking to me. But, the good news is the free market will always win. Let HKS and AWDmotorsports and anyone else do exactly as they please, whether that is price fixation or shit talking other performance shops (very very mature I might add), because in the end the free market via consumers will correct itself. Oh, and negative word of mouth sure is a bitch :)

Sucks to hear, but that's about what I'd expect out of Mike @ AWD. I have never bought anything from him and I know I never will.

I had a similar experience to steve back in '06ish or earlier I had a problem with their WG they at the time didn't make a replacement seal and couldn't give a fuck.

uck HKS I actually don't even see how they are in business with all the other companies that have popped up over the last decade.

This is ridiculous. How can they even do that? Confirm, and agree to sell the product then fall through for a none valid reason. I never thought something like that could happen on such a high level of business. Fail on HKS part. Just curious as to the facebook post. . .why would another vendor post such things about MAP. I understand competition etc, but it seems uncalled for and out rite low life.

[Super Bleeder!!]

The attempt to redirect business to a competitor using facebook strikes me as an amateur tactic. The guy probably hits on his friends girlfriends too! CLASSY

Chris, this saddens me that a vendor such as MAP is treated like this, but doesn't surprise me all that much considering HKS' track record. You guys do amazingly good work for the volume of sales you deal with, especially considering you do business globally.

The comments from Mike @ AWD Motorsports chaps my ass, I'm running his aluminum driveshaft. :(

Thanks for the support guys :)

If you are real broken up over this, I would gladly take the driveshaft off your hands :D

Please do, EvoM already took the post down as apparently they don't allow commercial reviews and they felt my thread would adversely affect the sales of other vendors :rolleyes: I guess I will have to get the customers that were affected by this to post themselves...

Fuck evoM! They are dumb asses then if they feel that they don't want the truth to be heard about their own vendors that they are supporting. That's the stupidest shit I have ever seen. That just makes EvoM look bad that they would rather have them as a "good" vender instead of people knowing the truth.
