The guy has barley any feedback and also selling what looks like knock off rear lower arms...
also said to me in a message he only has silver now the red and purple versions have sold out and wont be in until next week? as far as Im aware they only do them in silver anyway?
why would he be selling a £170 item for a £100 loss...

I bought some on bidding for £30 for my ek4 few months back. Everything looks legit tbh, i had a brand new set of genuine ones from tegiwa waiting to go on to my other civic, and side by side, the box is identical, (minus a chinese sticker on the front) the part is identical, bushes seemed just as hard, i couldn't tell any visual difference, looked at the skunk2 fake list but they all matched up same as genuine, but i sold them on before fitting as i wanted money for a dc5 and sold them for £50 more lol.

Price I'd think is more for the metal quality than the shiny colour and how it looks.
Personally I'd rather pay the extra cash and not risk one buckling at 80mph or while being chucked around in anger .

Fake or not, that Hub Bracket is too thin and will probably crack and eventually snap. also not sure if I would trust someone who has 4 feedbacks ever , one of them was negative and one neutral for products not fitting properly, (deffo chose a seller in the 95%+ feedback bracket). Also most Chinese copy stuff has shaky loose threads and aluminium lock nuts that strip as soon as you fit them because only half of the pitch is in contact.
Just my opinion but M2 Motorsport is by far better quality than most on sale, they come with rotating cable bracket to keep your sensor wire at the top, steel lock nuts, factory pre greased M16 x1.5 threads so when they are locked they are locked. and 6mm steel Hub brackets which wont snap, and NO thread shake at all. They have a 0.2mm tolerance on the thread variance because the thread is rolled on and not cut with a die making it stronger than any die cut thread. maybe you guys should check out the website ,just google it.
Just an opinion though ,,,,ignore it if you like,
