[QUOTE]Originally posted by TTNITEMARE: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Slowmo: [qb] First and foremost I want to thank Jason and mike at TPS these guys called me up one day and asked me if I was looking for a k-member kit. It's so crazy cuz I was. So we sat down and talked. I dealt with this shop on my tranny issues And some other stuff. We were talking and Jason told me that grenatelli has a good kit and it also converts the front to coil over, also A arms. So I did it I took my car out last night after picking it up and man oh man all the noise I have been hearing are gone im stoked. I've been in a lot of cars with k-member swaps and they do not feel this good. It literally feels brand new car and strong. I really recommend calling Jason up at TPS and talking to them. They got the best deals On k-member coil over kits. I guarantee nobody can match. [IMG]http://i1104.photobucket.com/albums/h330/1slowmo/photo-10.png[/IMG] TEAM FAST all damn day. [/qb][/QUOTE]Dude – I know you will be happy with your GMS stuff. I have had mine for 3 years and no issues. Don’t listen to all that BS about cheap copy and yadda yadda. Granitelli makes nice stuff. So does Maximum but they think their parts are made out of unobtainium. As long as there are guys out there that think $600 k-members are better than $400 parts when they look and operate the same, MM will have a place in this world. Normally I would say there is room for both. I have read links about who engineered what but lets be honest, we are all past that now. Like I said I have had my stuff for 3 years and the stories of bad GMS stuff is old news. In fact, I have never seen or read anything about a broken Granitlli K-member, A-arms or coil over conversion. [QUOTE]Originally posted by poisonpony96: [qb] From what I've read granitelli is an extremely cheap knockoff off maximum Motorsports. With lots of failures. Research it. It's all over the net. I don't know if stuff has changed but there has been many accounts of catastrophic failure. [/qb][/QUOTE]This is exactly what I am talking about – What makes it cheap? Like Slowmo said this stuff fits and works perfect. In fact he is saying it is totally road complaint and makes no noise, I have never read that about MM or griggs. I am not saying GMS is better or worse than any other system – What I am saying is I have yet to see a company to shows up on the message boards like Granitelli and actually takes an interest in us. – To me that says a ton. I did research it and looked all over the net. It looks like the same guys chase Granitelli site to site and like a fool he keeps defending himself and bringing himself down to their level. If Granitelli ignored the BS bad news and let it die he would do better. Sadly he is so into trying to help (his words not mine) I think he perpetuates his own death and demise sometimes. Last catastrophic failure. I have read about old rusty rear lower control arms but they don’t even look like the GMS stuff - it just looks like people saying it is his. I am sure GMS has had problems we all do. My first set of coil overs came from Maximum MS and after 1000 or so miles all the threads wore out off the threads portion that slid over the shocks. They told me I did not adjust them right. I said Chicane installed them and they referred me to them. They told me tough sh-t not their problem. I purchased Griggs stuff from another dealer and reported it back to my friends on corner carvers. Next thing I knew, all my posts were pulled and Maximum said if I gave then the bad stuff they would send me new parts. I sold the new stuff back to Chicane. You can’t say anything good about Granatelli on the corral and not get blasted and if you say anything bad about MM they pull the posts as if it never happened. – Props to MM for having that kind of influence on the boards but bad for us cuz we never know the truth.

But changed over to 12” x 250 and was much happier [/QB][/QUOTE]
