hell no, don't go to Autogear....He is just a CNC machine specialist who cut the cups for Platinum VIP. Autogear is shady, they just took Platinum's R&D and re-badged as their own.

Autogear doesn't even know how to install them correctly. IF you are going to spend the money on a top quality air ride suspension system, go to Platinum. They recently re-engineered the system and it is working flawless...

Hit up Kennedy @ Platinump VIP

Thanks for the recommendations!

D1GP is correct, Autogear did make our first prototype. So think about it, after making our prototype, they now offer their own cup kit? Think about this, it doesnt take a genius....

"rebadge as their own??? just like VIP Modular right" -- what do you mean by that JonJon? Please elaborate...

hmm, your premise is that Kevin works on cars like Billy's HKS IS300, therefore he is not shady?

What does working on Billy's car have anything to do with moral and ethic issues? Platinum designed the cup kit suspension from scratch and approached Autogear because of CNC capability and after production Autogear is now selling their own version of the cup kit suspension? the same design that Platinum did? All of this without informing Platinum hmmm,,,,if that is not shady, I don't know what is

I just said kev made ur cup kits and ur boy started bad mouthing kev.. Look at the post.. I'm not tryin to start any beef or anything... D1GP Autogear works on quality cars and show winners I'm not gonna bad mouth platinum.. U can talk about rebadging and saying ethics and morals.. Kev never did me wrong and I never met anyone else he was shady to.. Seems like only guys reppin Platinum have issues.. But then again that's not the only shop u guys got issues with.. I don't think there's a need to bring up those issues cuz we are all here to support the scene... So for kennedy and the guys at platinum, look at the posts before.. Ur boy started bad mouthing Autogear all I said was he made the cups and ur boy started throwing the hate... He cud just of said he cut Em and left it like that... We can debate about who stole whose idea.. But I think it's better we just bury it

Let's return to the subject and not debate shop ethics. That will result in this thread being edited or closed.

I'd imagine after 3 years he would already have air installed on his car, and he wouldn't need this thread anymore.
