Scooter Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 (edited) You have to be careful with the Chinese parts site as possible scam sites and also potentially the quality of materials used in stress bearing components. The Miparts site is registered to ROOM 705 OFFICE BUILDING DEEP BLUE PLAZA NO.205 CHAOHUI ROAD. Leaves you wondering what comes out of room 704. I'm not advocating anyone using or buying from them, I simply put it out there as I found it when researching the German Optimal ones. Now I took the plunge buying the optimal ones based on the (reverse racist!?) German factor and the size of the company ie it might be scared of legal issues arising from the sale of very shonky safety critical parts? But then hell they could just be the Miparts ones stamped up with Optimals logo? But then loads of things we use get made in China, go through a few peoples hand each making a few quid before we pay the final amount. You can see it on ebay on a small scale eg plastic fluid funnels direct from china or Hong kong for pennies with a draper (identical!?) one being £3-4. Plastic funnel has no real safety aspect associated with it unlike suspension arms! Make's you end up thinking more like Rob W and buying new Toyota (from a reputable source) or rebushing used ones if the ball joint is still sound.

Burna Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 I agree as long as they didn't snap on a pot hole at 100mph! Nah it'll be fine, as we say on Dragonball "Brave it!!!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
