Apex'i builds some awesome pieces like the PFC and their Intake setups while I feel HKS is a more rounded company with almost every part being very high quality but no real exceptional pieces as well as no poorly designed pieces.
Priceing is all about the same with some companies selling certain parts cheaper than the others while charging more for another part.
Blitz on the other hand is generally always more expensive then the other 3 companies, I don't know why though.
But for the question about HKS vs. Greddy. It'a a tie. I guess it depends on whose stickers you want to cover your car with, riceboys. Yeah, they sponsored you, sure!

I've always felt that building a car with a theme was not the best idea. That is to say a car with only HKS products used on it for example. These companies all have their products that are good, and those that are not so good. And that's all I got to say about that.

My HKS Carbon / Ti exhaust is a beautiful piece. The cops don't like it though. It's not that loud, it just looks like it. It is loudest at about 2700 - 3000 RPM, which is highway speed.
