Help me out here, I just don't understand something...
I was just on Top Fuel of Japan site. http://www.topfuel.to/parts_catalog/index.html
Was is it that everyone is hyped up on Spoon and JUN? I was looking at some of the prices for their products. Cams for example are less then $400, front and rear strut bars $230. The stuff looked like quality stuff to me. Why is it that no one uses their stuff as much as say Spoon or JUN? Just something that was on my mind. I am aware that Top Fuel doesn't have the wide variety of products as Spoon does but for the price difference I wouldn't complain, I am talking about the strut tower bars. I dont know how the cams compare to the Spoon or JUN cause I have never seen a Dyno graph for the Top Fuel. I also know that most of their stuff is also for turbo, but here in S. Ca I know of V-Spec Performance carrys Top Fuel, and they do have some stuff for us N/A persons.
Sorry for the rambling, just had to vent.

Is that the priced shipped to the states!?!
Because Spoon and Mugen are represented in the U.S. by other companies.
Why bother. http://www.benen.com just as good quality and you don't have to pay for shipping.

I guess its a personal thing. A lot of people have this image that spoon stuff and Jun stuff are just really good. On the contrary, although I do think that a lot of their parts are very good, they arent worth the extra money when there are a lot of US parts manufacturers making parts for hondas now. I dont think you will find anyone that can honestly tell you that Jun pistons and spoon pistons are so much better than JE and Wiseco pistons. As for the low price on Top Fuel parts, Are those the prices that ther are available for in the US? Jun parts are still expensive in japan but spoon parts are relatively on the cheap side back in japan. Just my 2 cents....
