If people would quit buying cheap low quality stuff the situation would improve. But people have always wanted to buy cheap stuff, you can’t fix stupid.

The only EMPI product on my 70 Squareback is an engine stud kit. One stud in the kit wasn’t the right length and I had to use one of my original studs. The washer were also crappy and they were more rounded than flat. The only reason for replacing studs because mouse pee rusted one down from 10mm to 6mm. Anyone ever have any issues with the studs breaking or the nuts?

EMPI 00-3418-0. I bought it back last year in a "free shipping" with some other parts.. I decided to give it a try.. Looked good in the box.. but what a piece of shit.
Wasn't even close. Tips were fat and stubby and overall it absolutely did not fit. I can fabricate ... no problem.. but...once I started .. it was going to be more welds than pipe.. I cut it up for future parts..
DONT BUY IT.. I lost about $150 and 3 hours time in the process..

I didn't bother contacting the selling distributor due to the metal sacrifice for my own pleasure. Laughing
