hmmm interesting i cant wait to see the results of this

Definetely want to see the outcome of this.

I know for sure that all my future suspension purchases will be with koni or blistein.

fore sure. i think this really makes skunk2 look bad.



posted this before fully going thru signalpukes h-t thread.. crazy how many of these companies are most likely sourcing their parts from china, taiwan and korea

yea especially when they put a bounty up, that just crazy a company of so much success would stoop that low.

They are just asking for trouble though, what ever happened to freedom of speech! And lol at them showing the gaffers house!!!

As some one that has skunk2 products for years now, knowing back in the day that they started out shipping and distributing products made in ASIA, I still don't see what this guys vendetta against the company. If he only knew that most products suspension, engine and others come out of factories from ASIA. I have been in the scene for an extremely long time and never once have I heard any bad reviews about products from skunk2. There are very few companies that manufacture all their own products in house, reading that thread shows and proves that companies like D2 and K-sport are made in the same place which was already proven years ago when they rose up from ground. Companies like blox, BWR are companies that copy products just like omni power if any one remembers them from back in the day.

Yes, putting a reward out is fucked up I will agree to that, but showing bills of lading from and overseas exporter what does that prove that they have the products made in china WOW so does damn near every other large manufacturing chain, wal-marts products all come from china, so does that mean wal-mart is a distributor? So there are so many large companies that have their parts or items manufactured in china or another ASIAN country and then shipped over here. How could everything be Q&A that comes out of there I do agree, but at the same time we can not speculate how the manufacture of the product test and checks to make sure that the metal mixture is right the machines are all holding temperature correctly to do the job. There are so many aspects that go into running your own business. I am positive that we have all got something name brand whether it be from skunk2, koni, function form, blox, or one of the other hundreds of companies out there that make parts for honda's that did not come with a defect it broke and we had to replace the part or due to it, but it is all in how that company handles the request from which your issue comes about is to weather it makes them a bad company or not. Does any one remember when Megan Racing hit the scene 10 + yrs ago. I do it was all so on ebay looked like generic stuff for a cheap price. And now they are huge back then they didn't have a website or anything it was just distributors selling their products on ebay. I will be interested to see how this all comes about and what it all really in tells since there is really no word on what this guy is really trying to prove.

I know that there are companies out there like eibach, edlbrock, bilstein and many more that Q&A everything and it is made in house. But that is also why most of their products cost quite a bit more at the same time. As far as knock off stuff look at ROTA or Spun wheels, or drag all of those wheels are knock offs of something or another and do they hold up for some they do for others not so much. You want to get super technical about things go look where anything is made now a days and see how much of it is not made in the same place as the actual headquarters of that company.

Do not get me wrong here I do not condone this type of out cry from a company that is this big into our scene and it bothers me because I am a huge supporter of their products and have run them installed them and sold them to many people over the last 10 years. But I still know that they stand behind what they sell even if it is manufactured in China or not. Look how many big shops use skunk2 products for their race cars and even the little shops.

I don't think he means anything about their products. They offered a reward for people's personal information and possibly putting people in danger.

I don't think anyone is in danger here I think because this guy was able to find all this information which any of us could but he went above and beyond to find that info and post it on various forum boards that skunk2 is represented on they want to find out who it actually was cause I am sure it is against some federal mandate law.

If he doesn't want to buy skunk2 that is fine that is not going to hurt the company

If you all remember I posted something about Black Works Racing and how they the guy that works the forums called another kid out on HT a few months ago, now that is company that is worthless and to have some that represents you like that is complete bullshit and they did nothing about it at all. The more I see post on their products the more I conclude that its junk. Plus you should be able to state your opinion on a forums like these because you are spending hundreds to thousands of dollars on parts from these companies and should be confident about the products that you are receiving. I know I am and I am running all skunk2 suspension stuff. looked it all over this year and after some hard driving last season and other can attest to that stuff is still going strong.

this. Junk2 is unprofessional and doesn't deserve any business anymore. i hope they go bankrupt

I love it how an appology letter is supposed to somehow justify alot of wrongs.

I'm totally against the way in which S2 went about getting the details of the 2 original posters but would be interested to know if anyone gave up their details.

I've not personally owned any Skunk parts but know of their rep and quality and even with knowing their products are made in Aisia it means nothing if they have ensured the quality of their products is still at the top of their agenda and as we all know they innovate others copy and follow so they must be doing something right.

If you look at any brand as many have said be it apple, Honda, Microsoft, ford, who ever they all use parts manufacture elsewhere then do the final parts and branding in house so I see them as no different to Skunk2 just so happens someone really thought that they built and finished everything in house and now that they tried to burst that bubble it turns out there was no bubble to burst.
