Quality.

I assume he's looking at cheap Chinese brands off eBay, like these "JDM" tacna for $40

Honestly, you're gonna get what you pay for. I've been guilty of buying chinese parts off eBay,,,,I end up having to buy them twice when it eventually breaks.

I've come to say that you should not mod your car with eBay. (ie buy cheap Chinese made crap)


Stewart Warner is another decent brand
