Skunk 2 specifically coming out against one of the most established H-T board members, who is never anything but civil and well spoken (and usually very knowledgeable), is one of the cheapest shots I've ever seen a company take.
This video has, without a doubt, dissuaded me from buying any skunk 2 products in the future.
i got junk2 attention. i tried to replace my rear camber kit bushing and its a year and im still waiting. junk2 customer service is PTA. i ordered it thru advancespeedshop and it seems they dont freakin care. i recommend blox instead.
I've never bought any of skunk2's products, and I have no idea of the history of all of this, but what i've read in the comments is interesting...

* Apparently skunk2 employee's left skunk2 and started their own firm (blax?)
This point alone suggests that they saw something wrong @ skunk2 and felt that they (alone) could do it better.
* Products breaking, poor customer service.
This is a crucial point, if their products are breaking so frequently then skunk2 *cannot* use the "we're better than our competitors because we do R&D" argument because it seems they ARE NOT learning anything from the existing customer feedback.
* Publicly sledging their competitors.
This is scraping the bottom of the barrel. If skunk2 are a public listed company, I'd be selling their shares right about now.
Oh man I'm with you guys on most of all your points. I only posted the video because the speak and spell style voice cracked me up.
Skunk2 started as a replica company before there WERE replica compaines. Bashing on others claiming they are producing replicas is pretty bad.
Only skunk related products I've ever owned were omnipower street one piece coilovers on my EK, I loved them. I know they aren't skunk2 but pretty close if they were designed by omniman
I also owned skunk 2 extended lug nuts like 8 years ago, which I really like the design and color. Lug nuts either work or they don't lol.
