BC, Fortune Auto, XYZ etc all come out of Taiwan. Maxpeedingrods is the finest of Chinesium trash. Also just about every single microchip or processor or whatever in the world comes from Taiwan. China doesn't want to take it over so they can have cheap coilovers Also to be faaiiirrrrrr @kpr has used MaxSpeedings... Rods. in his projects with success. Rods yes, coilovers no. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunbeam Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 I keep seeing Max peed in his grods. Is that a euphemism for undies? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUNAMUCK Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 Last time i looked, their conrods were cheap enough to sow the seeds of doubt. One discussion i saw questioned how good the factory balaning of them was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87creepin Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 Also +1 for max… rods. A YouTuber I watch a bit of Driving4Answers has used maxpeedingrods in his 4AF+TE build and has done a detailed video on why they’re good enough etc. but yeah if they were good enough I’m sure they’d be sold here by King Springs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most rods don't come balanced well enough anyway, I've had some reasonably spendy gear more than 0.1g out and that's only good enough for a low revving potato Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cletus Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 The other thing with China is they make a thing, ie coilovers , and over time it will have multiple different brand names attached to it but it's the same shit in a different colour Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Early jap nuter Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 When I was dealing with ordering from China for work they would paint things any colour you wanted and print anything you wanted on them even on small orders. Got afew full lift kits for utes for free to try in a container once and I just put them in the scrap pile 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Early jap nuter Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 The rear springs were half the weight or the standard springs, some of the shocks had leaked in box and the welds looked like shit. One of the boss’s got a set for his kids civic and broke the springs within a week 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zach_munce Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 these seem like a much better option although a fair bit of coin they look way better quality look simalar quality to the bc golds in my stepdads gto https://www.scarles.co.nz/products/yellowspeed-coilovers-holden-commodore-vtvz-97-06?variant=9703374946348¤cy=NZD&utm_medium=product_sync&utm_source=google&utm_content=sag_organic&utm_campaign=sag_organic&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAiAuNGuBhAkEiwAGId4agY91bygduHP8AnrB7NXgzl8zawdAmG9XdUzvgro7xrEY9JFW3f4zBoCmhUQAvD_BwE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kpr Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 my max china rods haven't flown out at 10k rpm yet. probably made in the same factory as all the other cheap rods out there, and some of the not so cheap that are making bank. Like anything from china, roll the dice. some stuff is decent some not so much. Have heard their coilovers are junk. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
