product/company warnings

Chuck33079

That doesn't mean we whitewash all negative reviews. There are some vendors here who need to do a better job taking care of the community, and removing any negative reviews dosn't help with that.

reviews are good and welcome.

but im not sure if there is an obligation for a sponsor to have to "take care of a community".
sponsors pay a fee to advertise. where it goes from there is the store's own business and admin's choice.

kinda like how poor countries saying 'america should or needs to do this and that to help their country'.

f- mang, america (tax payers) does not HAVE to do anything to help you. kinda...

I didn't imply that negative reviews shouldn't be posted but readers of reviews need to be aware of "all the facts" before deciding whether to purchase or not. Look at ImportConvert with ref to Berk's. Neg review but most others are happy with the product.

I do work but you seem to be here a lot. Do you work or live off the government?

i think the poster's credibility also plays a part as well.

if you saw my review, people will know i speak from experience based on other similar parts ive tried over the many years of modding.

like take for example the kangaroo bar. wat a stupid design with that poly lateral collar that slips with the bar. added metal collars and it works, but the bushing still deforms. yes functional, but bad (and ugly) design.

never seen that on other bars ive tried... cusco, spoon, stillen, eibach, (oem ie nimos), and others.

kinda reminds me of a thread I have going on about my headlights I did at 180 over the weekend over on FB.

But truthfully, like the saying goes 'for every 1 negative review on the internet, there's probably 10 positive reviews'. Of course, this varies from company to company, but it can apply for most companies out there.

Now if you're getting cheapo knock-off China parts off eBay and you blame poor fitment and it lasting you only 10 miles. You get what you pay for and shouldn't deserve negative reviews.

Oh, yeah, there's a certain amount of caveat emptor when buying Mishimoto. I assume that's the brand you're referring to with your statement.

Do tell.

Chuck33079

Taking good care of the community is good business. It generates referrals and repeat customers. Removing negative reviews makes companies look good that maybe shouldn't. Just because they pay a fee does not mean that they should get special treatment. If they are screwing people, the people getting screwed should be allowed to tell others before they make the same mistake.

I was not singling out any brands specifically actually. I have no actual experience with Mishimoto as I sold the items without actually installing them. There's a whole bunch of other brands that do come to mind but I won't mention them, but they know who they are

Nopeeeeeee

See, that's exactly what we're discussing here. You've had negative experiences with brands and vendors here, and you're completely ok with others making the same mistake. Otherwise, you'd tell us the details.

Oh no no, Chuck, don't misunderstand. I was just mentioning that based on stuff I read online but have no personal experience with. I do my research before hand based on these things I read online and order accordingly. Let others take the hit

The 'worst' customer service I've experienced is with Z1 where an item was on back order and I wasn't informed until I followed up a few days later. Seriously isn't a deal breaker for me since my order was placed during Black Friday so it's understandable.

Regarding the headlights, I had a positive review of the whole transaction, long term durability remains to be seen, but just one member didn't have as good of a time that I did (according to him, it took a LOT longer than expected) but his was done a long time ago so maybe things changed since then.
