I'm not putting them down because I can't say for certain that the previous owner of the car didn't mess with them ... but considering they were purchased at the end of September last year and have only been fitted to the car for approx 4 months, I can't see why he would have messed with them unless he cocked up on installation and shitted them up somehow?
I'm just giving a heads up to people to check them over before fitting - I dont know much about the company, only what I have read - most of which is good.
I've managed to do a decent repair now so I'll be keeping them on the car.
