Ebay item question

Has any one tried these parts? Are they quality or should I avoid them?

eBay Motors: BMW X5 E53 Control Arm Arms Ball Joint Bushing Link Kit (item 140303800309 end time Apr-25-09 14:10:57 PDT)=

Thanks!

ebay blocked at work (but not xoutpost!). If they are not genuine lemforder, then don't buy them in my opinion. Meyle is junk.

IMHO, get 'em. I've had great luck with parts from Ebay. At that price, how can you go wrong? We're not talking swiss watches and space shuttles here. Metal and rubber.....

Some might quote safety concerns, but I highly doubt that is an issue. Again, my opinion, but I'd be all over it.
