    To be honest, their quality has been going down hill over the years. More of outsourcing vendors rather than in house. I too bought a Downey header for my 22R years ago and it was decent quality but their parts are very expensive. I bet companies like LC Engineering, Fabtech and others will buy out the parts.

    Hi

    there are so many good companies out there that sell a higher quality product. the only thing that blows about downey going out of business is the fact that they were a toyota purist. they were overpriced, you could only order over the phone, and most of their products haven't been updated since the 80's.

    This...


    And speaking of NWOR, I have no issues with anything I've used from them, but I feel I like the "ignition recurve kit" was overpriced and wrongly named. It was a spring, that cost me almost 20 buck. A TINY $20 SPRING,srsly!
