DKS Cams that's right, I said D!

http://www.ffwdconnection.com/cams.shtml

$350 for a set, anyone up for some cheap cam fun? This is how much a set of cams is supposed to be! If these stick around, I'll be trying them out sometime in the near future! Any one have any experience with these guys or any of their products?

I don't know too much about cams, so I think I'll wait and see what the others opinions on this are. But I am assuming that these do not come with gears, while the HKS ones do.

HKS' don't come with gears either! The FP cams aren't a ton more and get good reviews...

FFWD connection is a dorm room shop. I would guess they're someone else's cams rebadged. And at that price, probably regrinds.

Re: DKS Cams that's right, I said D!

OK I figured out where I was confused. When people spoke of installing HKS cams, they said they could be dropped in as is without any degreeing needed. Of course getting them degreed may help, it's not needed. So that's where I wasn't clear. Anyhow, I wonder if these ones drop right in like the HKS's, or not? The FP cams can drop right in too correct?

Re: DKS Cams that's right, I said D!

Up til now, the only good drop-in's were HKS. I believe the FP cams should be good as well since Scotchmax and Robert probably drew up the cam specs.

Re: DKS Cams that's right, I said D!

I run HKS and for the amount of money I have in my car Id rather go with a CAM that has proven to be great throughout the years.

Same reason Buschur can still charge a good amount of coin and people still buy his product. You can find basically anything out there cheaper if you look around but do you want to sacrifice quality for price?

Id rather not but thats just me.
