Saw this coming from a mile away
Not a big deal in my eyes.... they will still be around just harder to distribute the product throughout the states. |

I think HKS's unique market position has dwindled significantly in years past. They used to be one of the few companies producing turbo kits / turbo products for select cars, now there's several options for nearly every make and model. Companies like Turbonetics / Garrett / Comp Turbo / Bullseye have reduced HKS's footprint on the market. HKS still makes outstanding products, I just think that buyers are utilizing more of their options than before. I hope HKS can still stick around, but I think they will need to evolve a bit to succeed. |

No one drives Civics anymore and Supras, NSX's and Skylines are (WAY)overpriced. I'm surprised they made it this long, honestly.

Man, the honda game in cali is still strong.
I think the issue is no one likes good quality parts anymore, everyone's rocking megan racing, xxr, rota, nrg, ssautochrome, and every other phony bologna chinese knockoff parts maker. |
