From a web developer perspective, you would be insane to fill that form at the bottom out with a CC number. It is just a standard form on a normal HTML page, there is no security involved what so ever.

I am not saying that they are scammers in anyway (although for those prices I call them scammers, 350 for a strut bar?). However, if a hacker knows what they are doing, that is a peice of cake, lol.

They need to hire a real web developer.

I've heard too many bad things about RSM's customer service to even bother ordering from them.

Just head over to Grand Am GT and look up the Roots Blower kit for the 3400... They've had alot of problems with that RSM product and little help.

RSM Supercharger

They used to do their own installation, and back then they would flash the j-body ecu, so I would guess they would the Cobalt, if they are still installing. I found RSM to be knowlegeable although not too efficient. Their strut bars were about $70 American each if I remember right, and the price for their Cobalt strut bar was the reason I did not go to them.

I have emailed these guys to ask about the lightened crank pulley and the development they did on it.....none of course. People do not realize that they really do need the damper that comes stock on the engine for crank durability issues, but their response was that they balance the pulley to insure that the crank will not fatigue. This will help the bearings, but not really the crank. So my whole point in this rant is to question some of the kits that they have engineered and the claims that they make.

Also (and why I originally meant to reply) theirs is a Centyrifugal Supercharger and therefore uses a by-pass valve (which they RSM refers to as a BOV, probably because people recognize BOV and not by-pass valve) which makes the whine similar to a turbochargers.

RSM absolutely sucks, do not buy from them. The j-body guys had hell from there...there "tune" ended up being the stock tune ecu, it was proven by HP tuners software.
