Seems like a pretty good deal. What do you guys think?

The seller has a ton of feedback, which is overwhelmingly positive. But...feedback is usually given right after the shipment is received, and what I would do if I were you is try to contact some of the buyers that have had his stuff for awhile and see what they think now that time has passed. Particularly since these are crucial pieces, you don't want them to be pounded out in some backyard in China, with shortcut metallurgy or other ugly processes that will have something break or bend if you hit a big bump.

Because of the uncertainty attached to replacement parts, I now buy Honda OEM only. It's more expensive, but I'm willing to pay for the peace of mind. I make up for the added cost by not having to make a car payment!

Yeah, car payments are lame. I'd much rather have an older car that I own, than have car payments! Plus.. I dunno... I might be weird, but new cars just don't DO IT for me. At all. I mean, yeah, I like some of htem, but I don't love any of them. To me, my love rests with classics like Dodge Omni GLHSs, TSI Conquests, Old Preludes, chevy sprint turbos, neon ACRs, VW corrados, 1st or 2nd gen GTis, stuff like that. The new stuff... well.. it just all seems to luxurious, bloated, and heavy to me.

ghettodaddy, I thought you said your car rode really smooth? I want to drop my car a little bit but not if it makes the other clunks more noticable.
