All kits are manufactured in China, but I would not recommend ordering from there, customs is SLOOOOW. Hence importers shipping them from domestic warehouses.
Is there something mysterious about this import system, R.S.?

Zalfrin is correct, they are all the same Chinese stuff. FWIW, here is an awful pic of my 8k heads. Once the car is running i will get pic of the whole setup.

I've seen alot of ebay listings that say they are from somewhere in the US but they still ship from China.
I don't have any problems when ordering from China. I ordered my bi xenon kit from VVME last Tuesday, it was shipped Wednesday from China and I received it at my door that Friday.
I have ordered things from the US and had it take over 2 weeks to receive.

Dunno, mine claimed to be from the USA, and that was where it shipped from. I guess if you order from a large company that ships directly from China, you may be okay. If its an individual or small company, things may be different. I ordered a USB-serial adaptor from China, it took 3.5 weeks to arrive, and didn't work to boot.
