--I hope this doesn't spark any controversy but I venture to say--

If you check out the g/b for the megan coilovers - we probably all agree that this is probably one of the best deals ever seen on coilovers.

but I want to say that I don't understand why people/companies pick similar names of other well known companies this are some of the worst marketing skills ever

megan obviously resembles mugen (I automatically assumed this brand was a copycat/ripoff of mugen when I saw it on ebay)

spugen - again, personally, I would never buy a brand like that just because of the copy cat name. They do have pretty good exhausts though

t1r exhaust - everybody confuses this with type one(even myself at first). I own the exhaust because of the quality, performance, price and sound. I just dislike the fact that it is the same names a spoon's sister company, which is a prestigious company.

these are just a select few that I noticed. I think it is so irrational that people do this. Another example: the only thing I hate about Lebron James is that he copied someone else's number (23). I don't respect this about him. This is a similar case to branding of parts and companies.

I just notice too much of this and felt like discussing this and see what other people think. People should be more creative and not follow the foot steps of others.

 

well there's a sucker born every minute. you gotta capitalize!

 

would you buy a fake rolex that was called sharky or folex? ahhh...yes, folex. think about it.

 

i can see where your going, but lebron? Ur probably saying that he's wearing "Jordan's" number. 23 is not jordan's number and jordan wasn't the first one to wear that number.

 

when I had a spugen exhaust everyone thought I just couldn't afford mugen.

they make some good quality stuff though (spugen)

 

I dont see how you can judge a product based on the name rather than quality.
