It is hard to give my opinion with something i haven't tested/tried yet, but the previous owner bashed these to death without having any issues with them, even ran in some norwegian championship with them, and when i took them and the car apart they looked absolutely fine with no slop whatsoever. They also fit well.

So in fact they positively surprised me. My nose wrinkled a bit when i first saw them before buying the car, but i thought lets try them out! As this is a static parts whose task is just to "hold something" i think it is doing great. But i have no belief in their A-arms and similar "moving" parts.
I knew there was something wrong with me when I realized I still know the VIN numbers to all of my last 5 cars, from memory of course.

Agreed, they do next to nothing but hold gears. They do however provide support for the shock towers. So if you find yourself casing jumps and bending upper shock bolts and standoffs, I would throw caution to the wind. You might just end up ripping the shock tower mount screws out of the diff.
