Hah, yeah, very good points. That was in the back of my mind and one of the reasons I don't want to be a tester for anything crucial to the car. I was just saying that if, somehow, people have very good experiences with them and they don't fall apart while driving, I might pick up a set. But you guys are definitely right about the welds being more substantial and more resistant to shearing forces. __________________ ~Dave~ 98 328ti Morea Grun slicktop 11 128i space gray slicktop 13 JGC WK2 Deep Cherry Search | RealOEM |
