Just as it says.... was looking for a spare and came across these. They say they are German. Are they really or just cheap empi ones. Seems like you cant beat them for the price. At $65 and thats for 2! Plus shipping but thats still under $40 apiece shipped...

I cant really tell, but it Looks like a reputable seller and $65.00 is a bid price, not a buy it price.

I'll bet dollars to donuts those are the same ones I got. They are made in Germany from a place called Mahale
Don't be confused they are NOT Lobro quality. So buyer beware just like about anything on E-Bay.

I have asked him before who the manufacture was before. It's Meyle. They are a German copmany that imports parts for resale from China.
You can do a search "where are meyle parts made" and come up with alot of info.
Check this out.

So Mike, would you recommend them for the price?
I have been collecting parts for my rear upgrade but I don't want to cheap out on something that I will just have to replace later.
How long did yous last?

Didn't use them, they were for the Funco so I don't know. Once I saw what the were and comparing them to Lobro's, I was going to use them for spares if needed to get me out of the woods but not as primary pieces. MAYBE for what your going to use them for Norm, they MIGHT be alright but for someone doing some heavy hitting, me thinks not. Again I could be totally off base here but they can't be any worse than EMPI JUNK

If your setup is not right, you'll break anything you put in there. I broke empi Meyle, and lobros. They all wore and broke the same. I just recently bought Meyle because it said Germany. And when it came to the door, it had a little "made in China" sticker. I think my biggest problem was, I was using the China limiting straps and they were stretching. I just recently got rid of those and bought some American quad straps. I hope this solves the problem.
