Hmmm, looks good but sounds too good to e true, the Jesel setup is WAY more expensive and you get what you pay for.

WOW... OK!!!


If its a brand you have never heard of STAY AWAY FROM IT...... It shaft mounts from good companies START at $800 and go north of a grand and you find some that are for $200 then that should tell you something!

Only need shaft mounted stuff for high seat/sprin pressures on really built motors if you ask me.

They may not be they best or even close, but it does tell me that other companies need to lube your *** first.

i bought a set just to see the quality of them. they would be alright for a pretty mild setup where someone doesnt wanna run all the other crap (studs, stud girdle, guidplates, etc.) other than that they are not worth it. i sent them back lol save your money and get some ss crower/jesel/t&d shaft mounted rockers!!

Why did you send them back, was there something in particular about them that you didn't like?

Thanks Fearthat...

.

I think there is a big mark up on the real stuff. To be honest, that rubs me as too good to be true, also.
I doubt I would ever trust that on my engine.

I would not bitch as much if the shaft set up's was 3X the price of good rockers.
That I would believe, but my stuff is ~$1800-2000. That I can't help but bitch about.
Trust me, I lube 1st, before writing that check.

I have a friend that could tell you what the distributor cost is........ I don't think I would want to know though hahaha.

Mark up on a lot of stuff is not huge.
I know Dart BBC blocks are closer to a grand for distributor cost....

They look like they are built by C.A.T or Probe Industries, I almost want to say they are Probe's work.
