I've seen cheap Asian coil overs break. Taiwan made wheels break. I just can't trust anything made from certain areas. There is a reason a made in USA JB fly is 500+ quality handmade parts cost.
Edit: I've known 2 people to buy the cheapo "F1" racing flywheel on eBay, and when flywheel was placed on a flat surface. It was warped. Shitty build quality, for cheap parts

I quit talking to the one guy at the local Napa because he's such a dickhead. I brought in an exhaust gasket off my corvette motor to get another because 1 got lost during shipping and he was like, "nope, Corvettes don't have those, its not in my computer." I was like "I took this out of my Corvette, of course it has them!" He's like "Couldn't possibly have one, I haven't seen one of those used on Chevys since the mid 90s trucks." I just walked out, screw arguing-Christian
