If you search for performance gains or modifications or vendors; there's a reason you won't find Windward Performance...well just my experience when I was in the early stages of ownership.

I spent a few grand with them a few years back after I met the owner (his daughter went to my school)- he even gave me a ride in his (then) new GTS-ACR Viper. pretty nice guy, he gave me a decent deal too, but from what I hear people haven't had good experiences with them

There are some threads in the racing forum about alleged fraud conducted by Windward. It is actually worse than the Guru threads. There were people who were allegedly bilked out of $3-4-5k.

I like the word alleged.

By the way, everything they sold is attainable from other current and reputable sources.

Kind of like how German Auto Dismantlers "allegedly" ripped me off for $600?

There was actually a movement to have them removed from anything concerning PCA (Club Racing and Pano ads). I don't think they have pano ads anymore. I think there were also people suing them last time I checked.

My personal experience with Windward was the worst I've ever had with a vendor. I'm not sure, but I'm under the impression that they're gone, and IMO that's a good thing.

At the other end of the spectrum is Paragon Products. Paragon is great. (I don't have any connection with Paragon, except as a long time customer and having really good conversations with Jason.)
