I agree, people are willing to moan but not to praise.
Ive had mine on the car for 5yrs now and never had any complaints. They go on easy, the car handles alot better and they are pretty reasonable price wise.

Go for it!

I kitted both my orions out with them. Think it cost me £100 quid for each car. Made a massive difference, there helpful enough.
I'd happily buy them again.

The problem with this company stems back quite a few years and one of the big issues was to with their gearbox mount's they were offering for the RS Turbo - they claimed big hp but were failing at as low as 165bhp taking out radiators etc and the customer service followed suit.

You'll always here good and bad regarding everything though

Also says something when a company repeatedly has to change it's name

Fitted maybe 10 sets over the years, cortina one were a crap fit but they have improved a lot ft wise over the years, escort Mk4 didn't have any problems fit wise, sierra rear beam bushes were a VERY tight fit but they also improved lately, use wise they all worked fine for years.
Although i would pay the extra for stainles tubes, a few years down the line the standard ones look like ford made em, IE rusty lol
