I am surprised. Who is your mechanic, and has he ever seen them in person?

I would argue that they are well made. I think your mechanic may just be someone who only likes OEM...

One last drive today before the long winter nap. Gorgeous day in Maine reaching nearly 70. That's pretty unusual and it turns nasty fast so decided to take advantage and do the oil change as well. One last detailing and she'll be ready. Tough time of year. Boats are in, car is in and no excuse when it comes to the project list. Hope you all could get out this weekend.

The guy who refubished my stock hydraulic system after significant leakage and failure, provides a lieftime warranty. ;-)

:Not sure why this comment was even necessary. Have you ever used the product? I have. Absolutely top-notch, great quality. Maybe hold an opinion until you actually buy/use it.

+1. Dave's customer service was top notch as well.

threw my newly built engine and trans in the '2 today and got it fired up, feels pretty damn good- lot of delays, time and money...always more stressful somehow when building it for yourself

If we judge failures by number of times posts on rennlist, these cars are virtually bulletproof. Even the OEM spoiler system and slave cylinder.

Im surprised that a product that is advertised the "solution" is not covered for more then 2 years, and also not repaired under goodwill.

They are just starting to age. My OEM system lasted 20 years.
