RW carbon and JSK Racing

[baobao]

My local shop seems not do APR anymore, so looking for some other CF parts. Find that RW carbon seems have good reviews here. And also find someone said RW carbon source from JSK Racing during the search. But I can't find any more information about this online. Also I find some review of JSK products have poor fitments online. Is RW really source form JSK? Do anyone here installed JSK and have some reviews? Thank you!

JSK is through Alibaba. From another post I read, someone said JSK is the manufacturer for RW and buying direct saves you xx%.

I have purchased from RW Carbon and never will again. They are 0 for 2 in my case and served as a personal cautionary tale of getting what one pays for. Many people seem happy with them but either I was extremely unlucky, or our standards of acceptance differ.

Likely the second of those two possibilities

Can you please tell me more? Is the fitment too bad or the weave of the CF or anything else horrible?

Both. The CF weave has waves in one splitter and both splitters required modification to fit. The rear diffuser does not sit centered with the bumper and both edges bow downwards.

I contacted RW through the other forum but they could care less. After attempting to convince me that my installation was the problem, I shared some pics and their response was that parts cannot be returned once installed. When I asked how anyone would know about installation issues without installing the parts, they didn't reply.

I usually don't look back after spending the money, no matter the product. So I chalked this up to a life lesson that I should have learned with my previous enthusiast car 10+ years ago, but obviously didn't, so part of this was on me, as much as I would prefer otherwise.

Well I appreciate the heads up. Steering clear of RW. No sense gambling on it, especially with their response to you.

Wait till you get the shipping quote

Best bet is to get a buddy to order with you, thats the only way the shipping rates become worth it.

Yea their shipping cost too much. Can't image shipping cost 60%~100% of the purchase value. And since they use wooden support to protect their CF product which makes the package big and heavy, I don't think buy with a buddy will save the shipping rates, the more you order the more you pay for shipping.

It worked out for me and a buddy, ordered two front lips and the shipping rates didnt change. But if you are ordering multiple items, yeah its a deal breaker.

The shipping costs are not too much if you are ordering a full kit; we always get screwed shipping to Canada. I just received several items, I will respond back with quality of the parts once I open them up

I contact them and asked the quote for a full kit (Vorsteiner style) and the shipping rate for that are almost same as the product value

Don't do it... front lip was great but this is what I think about the skirts and rear diffuser

The RW reps are shit as well. It's all hit or miss.

JL motoring and JSK are no different.

I've also had Vorsteiner parts delaminate on me.

The only parts I've ever been truly happy with were WALD and Varis

Rw carbon is terrible, eBay stuff is better I’ve tried 2 different diffusers and they both had issues and the carbon fiber weave is terrible.

I am experiencing this exact same issue with RW Carbon and the rear diffuser. Rough edges on the product, a couple of bad areas creates sag on the right side and you can see a gap.

I too contact them with pictures and they told me this was normal and was my install that was the issue. I tried for two hours to get the right to be visually similar to the left and it does not matter what I do. They told me all the tabs were not seated.

Same thing about a return. Must be in the condition it was delivered in.

Don't get sucked into the cheaper price like I did.

A lesson learned. You get what you pay for. I can not recommend RW Carbon for this reason.
