Message	They never wanted their products being made overseas but they offer it as a choice for more frugal enthusiasts. Being forced to compete via outsourcing wasn't an easy decision for them, taking various trial runs and lots of deliberation. Incoming parts are scrutinized for quality and anything not up to snuff is rejected. Heaven forbid you have an issue, I trust the guys with a near perfect service record, results at the track and a glowing reputation as opposed to AMS any day.
