There's a huge difference between "cheap shit" and "more than adequate."

For example:

Is it really necessary to buy a set of JIC FLT-A2 coilovers for $1600 when a set of shortened and revalved Konis with some GC sleeves will offer almost as much performance for half the price?

Is it really necessary to buy a Brembo big brake kit for $2300 when you can get a Wilwood kit that is almost as good for $600?

Maybe some folks are willing to shell out insane amounts of money on modifying a front wheel drive car powered by a normally aspirated inline four, but to me any sort of reasonable cost benefit analysis clearly says to go for the GC/Koni suspension and the Wilwood brakes.

I wouldn't call either of these things "cheap shit" worthy of being sold on eBay at cut rate prices. They are quality products that offer a significant performance increase and just about as much functionality as you could ever use, without being overly expensive.

Get my drift?
