Our Story
KAMI SPEED translates to A Successful Journey.
"It's not the destination, but the journey."
We believe cars are an extension of ourselves, more than just a form of transportation to get us from point A to point B. They embody our personality and allow us to break away from life's day to day norms.
Here at Kami Speed, we believe in separating ourselves from the norm and providing you with the tools to create unique builds that represent who you are. Whether that be a Time Attack car or an Overlanding truck. We believe not everyone wants to build the same way and good product selection is key to building your unique project car. However, we take this one step further by providing your with parts of the highest quality and satisfaction possible. We believe that if a product usually results in a manufacturer defect or a warranty nightmare, it's not worth carrying and we pull it off the catalog. This way you can worry less on the reliability of the parts and more on the direction of your build, to truly have a memorable and "a successful journey."
By sticking to this principle, we can maintain our product catalog fresh and updated. Giving us more time to focus on the latest parts and knowledge of your car, in order to give you more of what matters the most; great service, product expertise and an amazing selection.
Our goal is to provide you with the parts needed for a successful build journey.
Our Story
In 1998, Hugo Chavez was elected president of Venezuela, launching the 'Bolivarian Revolution' that brought in a new constitution, socialist and populist economic and social policies funded by high oil prices, and increasingly vocal anti-US foreign policy.
In 2002, Kami Speed was created in order to help the family reduce their income dependency on what has now become the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela.
The company started as an eBay account selling automotive aftermarket parts that were picked up while visiting family in Japan. Surprised by how well these parts did, the Founder enlisted the help of his family to make meaningful business connections in Japan both through language and experience. Pushing forward with this endeavor, in 2005 Kami Speed was acquired by Kensaku, Inc. and was officially settled in Orlando, Florida to supply all enthusiasts the exclusive and rare parts through their online store.
With the vision to provide car enthusiasts fast and reliable access to performance parts inaccessible outside of Japan, Kami Speed grew from a one man operation to an international business that is family run full-filling orders all over the world.
Over the years, we have have expanded to become more than just a Japanese Domestic Market importer. Kami Speed supplies hand picked quality and race-proven products internationally while maintaining supply for exclusive niche products. Not only are we an advocating supplier within the industry, but also automotive enthusiasts to the core. We're here to share our passion with you.

Let customers speak for us
from 2660 reviewsI was very satisfied with the parts that I receive from your scratching dent sale. These are the parts that I needed to complete the exhaust on my 2013 caprice, 6.0L PPV I had already purchased some magna flow mufflers within the last couple of months that fit the exhaust that you sent me which save me a lot of money. thank you.
Very nice intake, love how it beefs the Corolla up in the higher RPMs, but could not get a hold of customer service at all for an issue. Would have been a 5 star review if not for that.
These looks so good, I was so surprised it arrived early!!! Will shop more in store in the future!
Used these thrust sheets to quiet down a set of 60mm Coilover springs on a cheap suspension.
perfect fitment and perfect sound for daily driving
The annoying plastic rattle when shifting is gone feels like a type r should👍
Fit was perfect, the use of the OE donut to match up the flat OE flange and non-flat pipe side was perfect, no check engine light, great sound from just a stock exhaust
I was getting my one wheel repaired so ibthought id finally order the lug nuts by Rays. After making such a big money purchase for the wheels back in December i finally had to get the lug nuts. Kamispeed secured the product on friday and said i recieve them by next friday 8 days later. Shockingly, i received them 3 days later on monday from the California! Im a customer for life now. I remember calling them many times before my first purchase asking many questions. They were sincere and pleasant and never rude or condescending like the other competitor Jhp blah blah.anyway i love Kamispeed and will suggest everyone patronize n buy from them. Customer service is above and beyond and they know the tuner stance culture well.
Overall its a nice sleek product. Even the state troopers who watched me as I was changing my plates thought they were neat. I am pleased with the product and hope that this will be the end of thieves stealing my plates.
I like it. It feels hella good 1 inch make hella difference the driving I cant explain it is just so good feeling :)
Recently installed a set of Ohlins DFV on my 17 WRX (excellent product btw). Installed a pair of these thrust sheets at the top and bottom of each spring. It's apparent when setting the preload on the Ohlins that these sheets are going to reduce NVH and allow smoother operation. So far so good, at low speed this set up produces less noise than the OE parts. Kamispeed seems to offer the best online price for this little upgrade :-)
I cannot say enough good things about these wheels. The fit and finish is amazing, the quality is superb, and the price is incredibly good considering the fact these wheels have been tested and proven over the years.
I bought this exact size and color to use as my winter wheel setup with some snow tires and they fit perfect. My car is on OEM springs/suspension.
The shipping was so fast. I thought it would take a week, at least, since they're in FL and I'm in CA. But the wheels arrived only 19 hours later. And it was only $9 or something. That's compared to $100 another company wanted to charge on top of $120 CA sales tax. So I saved over $200.
As usual, Josh did a great job of assisting me and keeping me informed. I had a follow-up question that I sent by email and I received a response the same day. Josh's and Kami Speed's customer service always exceeds my expectations and their prices are great.
Oil pressure is a pretty damn important gauge and making sure that things are happy here gives you the confidence that your motor is healthy. I'm happy with the revel VLS oil pressure gauge, its response time is very good and accuracy is also excellent. The gauge can also double as a fuel pressure gauge (display won't say "FUEL" but its the same thing sensor wise) so I have mine setup to switch between my fuel pressure and oil pressure as needed. The sensor info for the voltage tables is the same as the AEM 0-150 psi sensor too so feeding the info to my standalone was a breeze. I highly recommend the REVEL VLS gauge series.
