    GSF ones are fine. Fitted them to my sisters just before xmas. No issues with them.

    I've had oen the ebay full sets before, from a German supplier can't remember the name, and had no problems with it at all.

    The only crap thing was that the antiroll bar drop links were rubber bushes as opposed to the originals which had ball joints. Seemed to handle well with the new set fitted though.

    Just make sure you tighten everything up once the car has been dropped back onto the ground or they will wear out again in no time.
