Cannit wait NST makes stellar product period & it is very well engineered. I have used NST products for over 5+ years now. They also STAND by the product they produce & will continue to be around for many years to come, not just some retarded named ebay company.

And if you looked around in the real world you would see how much NST supports race teams, communities & forums like this were they work with customers & design parts that people are asking for. Now by all means go buy a piggy product from ebay *LOL* Be proud of it hahaha. After all it is the same in your eyes right?

Also your logic is 100% flawled, just because people make things or produce them & they look sorta the same does not mean they are the same period. What you think all the short shift kits are made by the same people? *LOL* Wow.. And to think they are all identicle?? Wow...

There are many ways to design or improve a part which is what NST has done over the years with the pulleys they sell & also with tons of other parts they produce. If you think all pulley kits are the same *LOL* Think again. That is why NST is about the only manufacturer still going strong in the pulley business. They do not make crap that cracks & does not align worth a turd. Only pulleys I will use on my cars period.



I do not care who you buy a pulley set from but I say go with NST.
- They fully support us
- Have stellar products
- Active in our community
- great customer service


& do not pull BS in the adds on ebay to get sales. ever notice how many piggy adds get removed from ebay for violations?? *LOL* I just checked, even the one above was removed haha.

NST may be a great supporter, but they sell pulleys and machined aluminum. I'm not impressed with their engineering bench. If they showed a bit more expertise, I would consider them a player and might order a higher priced part based on trust or mystique. Pulleys? c'mon - that stuff was tossed by serious tuners YEARS ago. Where is the innovation? Where are the dynos? Where are the other products? Pulleys? c'mon!...

That said, in this case, a short shifter is a short shifter (don't try to argue otherwise!!!)

Everyone - TRD / NST / PIGGIES is reselling or producing the same part.

I wont buy the TRD for the price. Comparing NST and Piggies... I think the name "piggies" is an awful business name (NST is clearly superior). The part is exactly the same however and I will spend it at piggies.
