What was the negative? I am considering buying a few items from them.

2 sets of exhaust list over 500 each and a powercommander, about to order the gear drive cam set this week, have had nothing but good with them and have sent them many happy customers

I'm afraid I don't have any info on the cam part of your question.

But I've purchased Cycle Shack muffs from them in the past. No complaints on price, shipping or service from them. Very easy transaction thru ebay.

Hi, I bought various parts from them including the complete geardrive set with the Feuling parts and paid around 1190 bucksfor it, but this was over a year ago. It took them some time to get things straight. The kit came with the requested cams. Also their pricing on PM brake calipers was very competitive. At that time they were a bit reluctant to ship to Germany and finally all went well, no complaints. UPS shipping is fairly expensive to Germany, but still all was cheaper than here and I enjoyed to the door delivery.

My .02, Armin.

I've bought stuff from them, no problems. I'd go back again.

Good Luck

Take a look at the negative feedback they receive. On the negative feedback posters, look at the feedback ACM left for the users. You should quickly realize the scam ACM is pulling. If you still decide to purchase, pray that everything works out ok. Everything was fine the first time I purchased from them. Second time not so much. I chose not to leave negative feedback for what certainly deserved it because I knew I would receive a scathing feedback for no reason if I did. Their scam works.

Everything I bought from them were as advertised and came in a timely manner. I have heard a couple people complain about them though.

I dunno; they are averaging over 99% positive feedback which is pretty good. I'd buy from them again in a second.

I also have bought a few things from them without incident.
I work at a large auto recycler in Southern Indiana and it has been my experience you can't please everyone no matter how hard you try.
I would and probably will buy from them again..

That's the whole point of their scam... to keep people like me who had a legitimate negative experience, which was completely the fault of ACM, from posting negative feedback. If you search one of the other forums you'll find a thread where many people had the same experience as me.

I Bought Hogtune Speakers From Them Did Not Ship As Fast As I Would Of Liked But Not That Bad Might Have Took Like 10 Days From When I Payed Till I Got . Was Only Penn To Jersey

Why dont you let us in on the big secret..what problem did you have?

I bought some slip ons from them, shipped fast and product was as advertised. They have some pretty aggressive low pricing on some items, not so much on others. Buyer beware is a good policy with most vendors anyway.

Ordered a set of 54H cams from them a few weeks ago, contacted them first to make damn sure they had them in stock, they replied yes, so we bought them only to find out they were not in stock, took an extra couple of weeks to get them, same thing happened last year with a Big Sucker A/C set, after many weeks asked for my money back, they refunded in full and the A/C turned up the next day, Since I had already used an SE setup I sent that one back, when I contacted them they had no Idea I had even recieved it. Good to hear others have had better luck than me, hard to beat their prices.

My brother has ordered a bunch of stuff from them and has had very good experiences with them. I just ordered one of their cam/gear combo's on thursday. I will try to remember to let you guys know when it comes.

Redrubicon2004 · 02-15-2009, 02:32 PM

I would like to know the "scam" as well. Is it really a scam or a screw up? Looks like they are selling over 100 parts a day, could be easy to screw up right?

Did you pay with paypal? Did you dispute it?
