Their parts seemed to be good back before the market got flooded with other company's stuff. I remember back when they were one of the only places you could get aftermarket GTP stuff, and they were one of the few places to get LS1 parts.
For the past few years it seemed to be only lids and loudmouths. I think once the 4th gen got killed it really put a ding in their business.
