Are they really as bad as everyone says. Im pretty much finished installing a k-member I bought a while back, and didnt do my homework before i bought it. I wish I had the money to send it back and get an MM one. Seeing as how its a duplicate of the MM design, what makes it so inferior. Has anybody here actually run GMS parts on their cars, or are all the opinions based on what other people have "heard". I doubt that their k-members are produced in india or china like peole say, first of all, it would not be worth it for a company as small as GMS to do this, so Im pretty sure thats a lie.. As for the materials, well the steel seems pretty solid, welds could be better, but they also look solid. Its easy for a company like MM to attack GMS for "copying" their design, but who really knows who copied who, and why would we care. We are simply a consumer buying things from competitors, and even if MM is the better manufacturer, is it worth more than twice as much. Like I said, has anybody here actually run GMS parts on their cars, I just want to know that the K-member isnt going to fail on me when Im going 100mph on the freeway. If I had the money to buy MM, then I would have, unfortunately I went with the cheaper copycat. If MM was so worried about providing excellence, they would draw customers away from Granatelli by offering their products at a more reasonable price, therefore increasing their sales and eliminating the competition.
I am not supporting what GMS does, but everyone does it, and in a world of perfect competition, the consumer usually goes for the lower cost good. Any advice/info appreciated.
