"its only gonna last 2-3 years" - well, more then i expected thats for sure.
I personally think its money well spent.
I have a somewhat very low opinion of OEM quality in regards to the parts. I have had a rediculous number of OEM parts failures on my X in it's short life span of 67K miles. Why would I replace a prematurely failed OEM part with another overpriced OEM part that is destined to fail prematurely again? Especially when I read several posts on this forum how the part is "prone to failure."

Worst case scenario you are replacing poor quality parts with slightly poorer quality parts at a fraction of the price . . . I'd go for it too!

It seems that all the poor opinions of the kit have come from people who have not tried it but have only heard about it from someone who knows someone who has a friend that said it wasn't any good. Put some miles on it and give us a real review.
