jk, im a good friend of charles, i was the first one who found this complete replica and turned it over to him/JHP check this out...

good info, i always wondered why another friend had those 2 tiny holes ...

 

+1

 

for some reason I don't believe that you were the first one to find out.

 

who knows. no one else had one charles sure didnt know as well as JPR

 

why does it matter? He's the only one that took it opon himslef to post a thread to make sure others dont fall for it.
op

 

^ Truth, sad to see how fake parts kill the market.

 

yeah it sure does... but ASR is still doing good, business has picked up!

 

That's why I'm ordering mine from Password JDM in a couple weeks. No ebay for me.

 

Check weaksauce or jhpusa, i dont know what the pricing for pwjdm but it may be cheeper to go witht weaksauce for like $179.

 

I think password is $189 with free shipping.

 

hmm i never seen them offer free shipping before.

 

They have a graphic on their homepage that says free shipping on most parts within the continental 48 states.

Edit: Maybe that's on their branded stuff. Ground on that brace is $20.

 

And it sucks when you live in cali, gotta pay the tax's which is like another $17 or so

 

shop around..

 

^^exactly, check out weaksauce like i suggested, it could be less, its worth a few minutes of your time.

 

interesting. i heard that carboy sells the fakes, but then again that was jason that told me. lol

 

i just got a fake one in the mail too
white box
sharp edges
crappy hardware
1 peice brace and backing plate

 

Where did you buy it from?

 

...ebay..
i didnt hear about this scam until after i bought it.
and then all this negative feedback showed up for the guy i was like...
i did get it cheap...i just wont use the cheap hardwear and well see whats up.
il still use it. jus not a massive sway bar..
his feedback will be nasty after i leave somthing

 

=(

 

damn, i have the feedbak thing happen once.
sorry men, but i guess it's a lesson learned.

 

The fake ASR braces have been around for quite a few months now.

But, hardware aside, it's just a chunk of aluminum. As long as it fits correctly it will work just as well as the real thing.

 

^thas what im saying. i think the $ i saved was the hardware part and stickers

 

Right. If it doesn't fit correctly, though, I wouldn't use it.
