these are the main downfall of the tuning companies like Apexi, Trust, Greddy etc...

even rims manufacturer are having hard time. Poor BBS is the latest to bite the pill...

Well...already know the red KW is imitation when i see it laugh.gif
@soulfly,e-mail the reply from KW Germany to my inbox,evofans11111@yahoo.com
Original KW V1 start from US$1.5k or so so anything under that price for brand new set of KW is not legit tongue.gif
Also there are no original KW for car such as Myvi,Protons etc...

Real KW Suspensions distributor is Autovox (Singapore).

By the way, it's confirmed that GAB Suspensions (Malaysia) products are totally legit.

I still remember i email Daniel from RSOne asking wether Kajang Hugo (goo126) selling fake/immitation Gab or not due to the coloring and finishing are worst totally.And the price are to believed.
So he replied me back he will checked over this matter and get back to me.
Until now,1 year past no reply.

I already sent email to KimWah regarding this link.
Until now no reply from them.
Maybe we should hear voice from their side that claims this is an authentic product nor local made then users can sue them via consumer act.

the factory is probably just contracted to produce/assemble the products.
but it's also possible that it's producing fake products too.

the most important is, research and check before you buy.

the reason why i checked KW was because some distributor offered me to be a dealer. but unlike some seller who don't mind selling stupid car gadgets, i refuse to associate myself to these kind of products.

SUSTEC is a fail attempt at trying to use Tanabe produce name. Same goes for another spring brand called S-Tech.
