Appreciate the honesty alex
Anyway still doing my research and looking at other brands aswell.
Came across these http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/390734401819?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 which are obviously a blatant rip off of the spl arms but cant find any info on what bearings are used.
I know there old arms have a bit of a rep for being poor quality but cant find any reviews of these so just thought id throw them up here for discussion
