QUOTE(stormlcc @ Jun 12 2011, 07:32 AM) u get what u paid for, original parts are always (twice) better than taiwan made stuff. I've tried and tested both in a number of components, original parts always last at least twice as long as taiwan made parts. although they are almost double or triple the price, but u'll get double or triple the durability, as i've said, u get what u paid for. and FYI for those who doesn't know, new japanese car parts are almost similar in price with ford Yeah but ford parts are extra expensive because for some odd reason eventhough they are made in thailand, parts come from germany.For japanese parts there are a lot of OEM manafacturers locally, even the ori parts i think some are made locally or thailand also. Wiper blade is RM160 PER SIDE ori price, Battery is RM600 because of odd size, barke pads from 400, rear 700, front windscreen RM3718.50 price taken from Fomec forum |
