"Experimental" Parts

- Most of us are generally looking for the best balance between quality and value when it comes time to replace a part. There's a lot of options out there for practically every part.

- There's O.E. parts, that are usually great quality, but very expensive (if even still available).
- There's the "tried-and-true" parts that everyone say are the best deal; great quality at a fair price.
- There's lots of "el-cheapos" that claim to be as-good-or-better than O.E. for a fraction of the price, that turn out to be a fraction of the quality, too.

- However, there's almost always one or two special deals; parts that are ridiculously cheap, and turn out to be very good quality. In order to find these special deals, somebody has to be the "guinea pig" and try them out. That's what this thread is all about.

- For those of us brave (or foolish) enough to take the risk on these "experimental" parts, I thought I'd make a place for us to report to everyone else on our successes and failures. If we actually can find a better deal, let's share it with everyone else. Likewise, let's use this to warn everyone of things to definitely stay away from.

- When you try a new part ("new" meaning a particular part that it seems nobody has reported on before), post it up here (with pics and links preferred) right away. Then, come back and edit your post later when you've had a chance to really test the part out, and tell us your recommendations.

- Let's help each other save a buck or two, and at the same time, help some small companies making good parts for good prices!
