I'd be interested in any other opinions too. I replaced mine last year
because I could feel maybe a degree or two of play and they made a
noticeable clunk. I was worried about the shock loads hammering the whole
drivetrain in autocrossing. One of the few times where Vic Brit had a big
advantage at around 150 dollars each, everyone else wanted about 300. A low
enough price I wondered about quality, but they've been OK for a year now.
