As I said earlier, If I was in the US and close to GTM and could pop in to see how things are running, I would probably still be in the group buy, but being overseas it gets a little more scary when you try come up with a solution to at least get some parts to clear up any bad thoughts but are shut down even when you have paid in full while people who are pulling out are waiting weeks/months to get refunds.

Two shops that have been in this business a very long time in my area echo this sentiment. Their customer service has always been...lacking and the delivery timetables are horrible but once you get the kit, it's quality.

Now who knows what sourcing decisions they've made since last year when I got my kit. Looking at that youtube nightmare halfway through this thread, clearly they have some pretty serious "issues" as of late but I can tell you that two shops have gone over my SC kit with a magnifying glass (because I'm paranoid as hell) and both have told me that it's solid.

Also I'm not sure what you mean by "overseas". Many (many) industries and parts shop use suppliers outside of the US. My car was built and assembled in Japan. Many of the parts on my car came from Japan.
I'm not sure that overseas part vendors are a good barometer for what's good and what isn't.
