Helix is made in Thailand/Taiwan/wherever the absolute bottom-dollar production cost will be. Its the cheapest of the cheap. Every corner is cut for their stuff.
Put another way, if their parts were quality at their pricing, Cobb and Perrin would be out of business.

Thanks for the answer. Someone is selling used Helix's for $65 shipped, and MAPerformance will ship new Kartboys for $115. It sounds like the extra $50 is worth it for the quality, unfortunately for my wallet.
I do like the 'bling' of whiteline, but I think the extra $15 isn't worth it. Maybe if it was a part that was a lil more visible, but....
