2008+ Par Experiences?

[saliya]

Hi folks,

I too am chasing a street-drivable gearbox to hold reasonable power at reasonable cost.

PAR apparently make such gearsets:

a similar-to-OS-Giken-1-3 set is about $4.2k

a dog engagement set about $5.3k

(RRPs according to PAR website)

However, there seem to be lots of threads saying 'stay away from PAR' on SAU.

PAR moved factories to Malaysia in 2008. They claim to have radically improved quality control since the move.

They are also offering a 12-month warranty on their gearsets now.

Has anyone here run a gearset made by PAR since 2008?

if you don't want to post directly PM and I will summarize without your info.

Hopefully people can contribute useful information without falling foul of the political correctness rule.

Leave out the bits that are inapplicable.

If you want to tell me to run something else or about pricing, I'm all ears (but do it via PM, not in this thread).

If you're not personally running the gearset please don't post in the thread
