Long story behind concerning an accident involving a E9. From our standards, that E9 is 99% stock but politically it has been framed as "mod cars" and certain cities then started a massacre on mod cars as well as tuner shops. Hangzhou, the scenic city and also the place where the accident occurred, has towed away > 4000 mod cars already (all of them need to pay heavy fine, mod back to stock, and even confisticated the kits). This would last for a month or so and then die down gradually. But similar things would happen every 2-3 years and thats China......
Similar stories happened in one city or province recently that because of a street dog bite some high-rank official or what then a massacre started again and killed > 20,000 dogs already......
There are a lot of ridiculous things happening in China everyday and the only way out is "patience".

I believe you refer to performance parts then yes I would stick to HKS, mostly bolt-on options. The rationale behind is because of the low tuning quality and standards here in China which could be a nightmare if you want to do something more aggressive or precise tuning. Thats my experience for last couple of years when I tuned my other cars in China. So for this one which is a EVO with more new and high-tech designs like 4B11 and SST I would stick with bolt-on solutions only to stay away from hassles and HKS is the most reliable option I can get with the tuners I know in China as well as Hong Kong.
