SR doesn't make good products, they don't make products at all. They rename everything they sell as the "Shark Racing Thingamagigger".

Mmhmm.
Who're the companies that actually make the products then?
A valid source, perhaps?

Get that rear strut now and the center bar. Center bar is questionable though.

I have the kSpec rear bar and you could feel a difference when you put it on. You wont be disapointed. I did however replace the bolts that it came with, with much thicker bolts. That made a huge difference.

Several companies do in Korea, unfortunately, MFR's in Korea dissapear about every 6 months. LOL

Nope, most Korean companies don't recognize the US market at all, they won't sell to you unless you can type Hangul.

Why is it questionable? I HIGHLY recommend one of the Ebay big center bars.

Yeah I replaced the two bolts that connect the main bar to the mounts. The bolts that were included were quite small. Once I replaced them (very hard to get in, very pretensioned) the increase in performance was GREAT.
