CAREFUL ALL BUYERS! If you did not know...
you should read this first before buying any products from these two websites:
1. www.racdyn-usa.com 2. www.electrodyne.cc Basically these two websites (from what I've read) are supposedly the same company and they have rebranded the original company's products as their own. Let me begin by saying I haven't checked through this website if anybody's written anything on this so sorry, but "if you don't know, now you know (-Biggie )..." This all started as I was scrounging around online for some aftermarket parts for my good ol' Z4. To my delight I thought I had found some good parts that were fairly inexpensive ie. strut bar, air intake, headers, etc . But as a snoopy little investigator I snooped around a little more online thinking maybe these parts are too good to be true, or perhaps it'll be you get what you pay for. Well to my dismay, I found this website www.racingdynamics.com. I thought, "hmm, if racdyn-usa.com shares the same name as racingdynamics.com, something has to be up." Plus they don't even have all of the same parts for the same vehicle applications. So upon looking at racingdynamics.com they had this link for US/Canadian buyers: http://www.racingdynamics.com/Locali...ca/Warning.htm -it basically reads that the US "manufacturer" of "Racing Dynamics" are copying the original owner's work, Racing Dynamics S.p.A. of Milan. After finding that out, I then wanted to know more of the story. So here i found this old post back on an old forum: http://forums.bimmerforums.com/forum...p/t-51807.html -(pardon the horrible paraphrasing , but) the original Racing Dynamics allowed for a US guy to sell the original parts. But then things went sour after the US guy wanted to buy the rights to Racing Dynamics. Now the US guy makes his "own" parts that have the same look/logo as Racing Dynamics, which may, or may not be the actual original part So in the end, if you want the original part go to www.racingdynamics.com to buy it, not www.racdyn-usa.com, or www.electrodyne.com. Well I hope I did them some justice. Have a splendid day.

thanks for the warning, but this is actually pretty old news that goes back many years.
