The point is no company or shop is perfect. This online tirade against Forged will backfire. Time will tell.
I think you are trying too hard, for the record there has never been any design change in our G37 kit sense day one. So what ever was sent back then is what the customer has installed on his G37 on his back in his own garage.

Trying too hard to what? Would you like to elaborate?

I can tell you that at the pricing Greddy kits are WHORED at online; there is no financial interest for most to recommend Greddy over the GTM kit. Forged is one of if no in the deepest discount structure of Greddy items and DOES benefit in recommending the kit for obvious financial gain.

I'm sure they have much more experience in installing the Greddy kit which would probably also be why the recommend them over anyone elses kits.

GTM offers a good pricing structure which allows US dealers to sell their product competitively. They have decent control over the product as well keeping the integrity of it from a dealers stand point.

This point in no way is biased toward either product or shop, just simply to bring out a reply to multiple comments of profit margins and selling practices.

A companies product is really only as good as it's reliability and longevity as well as customer support along with fitment obviously (For install/labor time concerns).

At the end of the day though it is about meeting your customers needs and expectations and not fluffing your bottom line.
