Honestly in this situation SBD is not the culprit. It comes down to Zage in China and Greddy/Trust co. Ltd in Japan.

SBD is purely a distributor/vendor offering a competitive kit to the U.S. market. There is no malevolent (perhaps too strong a word) trickery going on from their end. I am sure SBD anticipated this scenario before distributing the kit to the U.S. market, which makes it seem more fishy that GReddy would have to take a stab at them publicly - like some desperate final stand to have people buy their kit because interest is f*****g them daaaaaily. However, it makes perfect sense that GReddy would say anything when you look at the massive amount of debt hole they are in - again, desperate much.

Pure speculation can lead to extreme and/or exaggerated conclusions ^^^ and it is unfair to point any fingers and make SBD the culprit. It would be nice to hear from each parent company on the matter, if that can even happen, perhaps a statement? Nonetheless, whether Zage's kit is a copy or it is not -at least they are not marking up the shit out of their kit price like GReedy is.
