>>>I spoke at length with Jacques (owner of Maseratisource) at Concorso 
Italiano a few years ago.  He told me that he is having all his stuff made in a 
former ComBlock (iron curtain) country--Hungary I think it might have been? 
  They have a lot of manufacturing expertise and are hungry for capitalism, 
and he's been quite happy with the results of that relationship.

I've had many, many sets of his suspension components pass through my hands 
on the way to owners in Europe and Asia, and 100% of them have been happy.  
 On the other hand, I have shipped some A-arm bushings which were purported 
to be 'factory', but which were clearly manufacturered incorrectly, such 
that after they were installed in the A-arms (no mean feat), the A-arms 
couldn't be installed on the car.   They all were removed and thrown in the trash, 
and replaced with Maseratisource bushings with no problems.

Shop Jacques with confidence....
