I agree on stillen.

I think Comptech would be to Honda like Nismo is to Nissan.

It's close though... it's just that Mugen is not Honda-owned. Stillen is close because Steve used to race for Nissan.

Comptech does for Honda pretty much the same that Stillen does though.

Nismo is to Nissan/Infiniti like AMG is to Benz I suppose... and Kleemann would be the Stillen/Mugen equivalent.

Comptech is covered under warranty though. Is stillen covered as well?

I love analogies. Reminds me of the SATs and Conan O'Brien. +1 for Stillen.

well you have three options in my opinion

Jim Wolfe
Stillen
Nismo

no one else really caters to Nissan's like they do

Why? Mugen is damn near part of Honda, albeit a bit further away than Nismo is to Nissan. r
Comptech and Stillen, while oft times dealer supported, don't have the innate connection with engineers at either Mugen or Nismo, even if it is close.
Just my 2cents.

I agree, mugen's founder is Honda's founder's son, they are pretty much one and the same like Nismo and Nissan are.

I would say Stillen or Jim Wolf.
Both SPECIALIZE in Nissan/Infiniti and not Nissan owned.

Mugen/SPOON own the Honda world, from style to performance.

Exactly, and based some other responses, perception is often different from reality.
