Problem is that you donot know if you're buying Chinese made products in a lot of cases. Case in point, how many of us run QA1 shocks (a lot i'm sure) a couple months ago i had to buy heavier springs, up from 110's to 130's, dam i opened the package, and right on the plastic bag the spring was incased in was a gold label made in China. Another case in point, i've been a machinist for over 50 yrs., the last 11 1/2 yrs in Ms. We used to make Sharp Microwave plastic injection molds They are based in Memphis. About 5 yrs ago they started buying from China. they could buy a mold for $40,000.00 that we couldn't make for $125,000.00. When the mold came in Sharp shipped them to us for a tuneup, they didn't even unpackage the molds first, it cost them an extra $10,000.00/$15,000.00 to correct the molds, they are still $60,000.00 ahead and their products are made in the USA.
That was the reason i started this thread, you just don't really know.Sad but true.
