as the ID references a tuning shop, you would like to think they are gonna be reasonable....but if something sounds too good to be true, it usually is  :'(

Easy to assume that just cos they're from Germany that they'll be brilliant.

Can't see a TUV approved mark on the ad (unless I've missed it!), so I wouldn't expect them to be superior to anything else - however, they might well be exactly that!!!

Just a thought.........

If you read the feedbacks, most of the negatives are due to poor/long delivery times, rather than quality of item... might not be all his fault??  :-/

To answer your question, these sets are very good, I have just bought my second set for my second Omega.
The only thing i would suggest is to spray the new wishbones with some sort of protection against the rain and dirt, they are painted, look good but there is no rust protection or underseal.
I sold my old miggy to a mate of mine, 2 years on he still has no problems with either wishbones stabilisers or tracking rods.
The only thing i didnt really like about your set is the fact that they dont give you 3 years garuntee.

Oh nearly forgot to mention that they garuntee that the quality can be compared to the originals
and the feedbacks are 100% positive :y
