Hi,

Well, it's all very interesting, but Trademark and Copyright infringement is fairly easily litigated. It escapes me why they (Racing Dynamics S.p.A) would go to all the trouble of producing such a Web Warning when a simple Cease and Desist Order would suffice.

And, it takes Two to Tango and we're only hearing one side of the issue. Could it be that the US Company was first to register the names with the Federal Trade Commission? Sounds like a Corporate P*ssing Contest to me.

In any event, the Strut Tower Braces are not the stuff of complex engineering - a couple Brackets and a non-Compressible Bar. The Bar which is sold by Racing Dynamics and Paragon, whatever the source, still appears to be the best made and best fitting Bar out there and for a reasonable price. I don't think this Warning should dissuade anyone from using them. Let the Lawyers sort it out!...

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
