madman bro....are you sure there are no fake hardrace stuff in the market? (just my2cents)

As advised, i made some research on hardrace products and at first it was all pretty clear at HARDRACE - Performance Suspension Parts until i found out the contact no. to the factory was 00 +886 which i checked in the internet, it was Taiwan country code. Then it bugged me, so i continued searching until i found this website BuyHardRace.com. it was a U.S. site which i could guess it might be the genuine site (hardrace was a U.S. brand afterall). Then i compared the products pictures and designs especially the LCA and i found there is some differences. you could give it a try and check it out.

But who am i to judge. I just wanna share the information i found, so we (as consumers) might not be scammed and conned. I just couldn't agree or believe with those "100% original" words they put out in the ads nowadays.

at the time of posting yes i was sure... but last i heard hardrace got fakes already... and this was told to me by a friend who is one of the hardrace dealers (whos also a member of this forum)

as for the LCA themselves... hardrace has a new design out already...i was initially thinking of getting them... then i saw a new design and doubted too.... then i confirmed it with my friend... the design with the more longer holes are new design while the round holes are old design

n yes...hardrace factory is in taiwan.

anyway, if ur interested to get hardrace, akuma gave the number to call on the previous page... uncle joe is the official distro for hardrace. the friend i mentioned is also under uncle joe.

yeah....that would be great. Uncle joe right? note taken...and thank you very much. Its good to have the consumers stands together...for the sake of our hard earn money....

GAB jepun close shop loooooooonnng ago la... and i read somewhere that RS One took over the branding license for GAB.

i got a friend using the GAB SS for his DC5 n he tracks often...though hes thinking of upgrading.. he is quite happy with the GAB hes using...

and right now, its the only brand id recommend.. especially considering the after sales...hard to beat for the price.. im even thinking of selling my TEIN Flex for GABs hahahahhaa

itu sticker ex-owner kasi taruk hahahaha... where u saw?

Just to refreshen this topic. I just went to a shop in Seremban, I believe quite popular too la this shop. Quoted them for Hardrace Civic EG products which are:

Front Camber Kit - RM450
Rear Camber Kit - RM230
Rear Toe Kit - RM210
Trailing Arm Bushing - RM230

Quite cheap compared to shops in Sunway. So my question is, how to check if the product is ori or not? Tried to google the information but I find none. I ask the worker at the shop (I guess about 5 times) is the products original or not but he replied confirm original. Haha.

 

[mADmAN]

good question... ive only heard people telling me theres fake hardrace in the market... but no one has ever mentioned how to differentiate them...

makes me wonder if there really is any fake hardrace i the market.

 

[zhaf_b16]

I've tried to Google the info, but none found. Quite cheap laa at the shop, but I'm worried that it could be fake. But the price differ RM50 plus minus only laa. Could be they bought large quantity directly from Hardrace, and get cheaper price. Maybe that's why the price is a bit cheap. What say you?

 

[mADmAN]

i say possible... but...i would just hentam only man...

the rear kit is cheap though....price including install? mine was RM300 including install

 

[zhaf_b16]

Ooo. Bang first regret later laa ni? Hahahahaha. No laa, not include installation. They don't provide installation laa there. Hehe. RM300 include install for which part? Rear camber?

 

[mADmAN]

yeah rear camber kit

 

[zhaf_b16]

So it is about the same price I guess. Hey, I got the floating nuts for RM100. Haha. Tried to get a little bit more discount but the last price I got at RM100. OK laa. Sunway RM88, but me from Seremban + fuel + toll lagi. Heh.
