Has anyone used a set of these Granatelli?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1,1&item=8054320400&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT

Is it worth saving money on these or go with more expensive ones?

the granetellis are better than bbk, the bbk units are a boxed and work great under load but i got a lot of wheel hop out of them, stick with tubular units or even adjustables like the maximum motorsports

I'll be installing some Team Z (same as baseline) relocated uppers along with a set of ride-height adjustable Maximum Motorsports lowers on a few customers cars soon.
Gonna end up doing the same setup on the Wife's GT & shoot for better than the current 1.5 60fts.
Of course this is more drag strip oriented (better control arm geometry & easy adjustment), but it's also perfectly streetable.

interesting read up on global west's control arms & maximum motorsport's control arms. i thought these were the same, but i guess their bushings are totally different from everyone elses. although between these two, their spherical bushings are placed on opposite sides [Confused] check out the links:
