Ehh I doubt Japanese companies need us to support them, they get good business in their own country, the bigger companies with the money export their parts here probably only to be nice so the people who really want it can get their hands on the good stuff, but I'm sure whether they stay afloat or not depends on their sales in Japan.

So it's more like buy real aero if you want more cool stuff to be sold here.

Japanese companies aren't in as comfy a financial position as you may think. There are a few teetering on the edge of closing because of all the knock-offs in Japan. Supermade no longer sells footwork or exhausts and with the copies available now who knows how much longer their aero lineup is going to last unless they get a good hook in the US.

The latest company to go under is CST. They still have some stuff left on the shelf but they're not going to be restocked after that's all gone. I tried to order 10 sets of Zero-1 Hyper only to find out they don't have anything left better than 8.5J.

I heard rumours of Anceltion kicking the bucket, and Brain Cadena going bankrupt as well.
