SLP, RKSport, etc. SLP and RKSport both have the same items, slightly different in design, but big price difference. RKSport seems to be cheaper. Is RKSport any good? Which has better products? What about customer service and returns? What other after market companies are good to look at? I've also been looking an Maryland Speed, too.

I worked for RKSport for about 1.5 years... The only things RKSport actually makes "in house" are the body part stuff for the most part... everything else is obtained through other manufacturers... half the stuff they carry that's not body parts, is gotten from someone else and they slap their name on them as if they make it... which has nothing to do with the quality of the parts... they are still good... for example, their RKSport flywheel is actually made by Fidanza, and their RKSport MAF is actually a Granatelli etc... If you order any parts from them ask for FRANK and tell him WES sent ya there from the LS1Tech website... he's a really good guy and the best one there for customer service...

Wes do you remember me with the pewter '02 Z28 vert. I've used RKS instead of SLP because of location. I drive down to RKS no shipping or waiting. I've gotten many compliments on the fit and quality of the SS spoiler I got from RKS. SLP= higher price + shipping.

i used to buy from RK sport all the time.. back in 98,99 and 00... when they were in Oceanside. I usually bought from "Bobby".. which turned out to be some old lady.. she was at least nice... i never had any issues with anything i bought from them. And everyone in the office and wherehouse was nice. Not sure how it is now..
