We used a set from advance. Water temp was way off and oil wasnt exactly correct. Take a look at the speedhut gauges. I think my set was 389$ shipped for a 5 gauge set

What brand name are they ?.. ask them who is the manufactor of them.

You usually get what you pay for.. Being cheap can sometime cost you more in the end.

I'm going to be running the Sunpro gauges in my LSx Rx7, they sell them at pepboys, advanced, and autozone i do believe. I emailed sunpro directly and they actually told me it would be cheaper for me to buy their gauges off of Amazon rather then directly from them.
