I know Empi back in the day had some good quality parts...and most everything today is junk. I found these in a recent purchase...and wondering, based on the packaging, if anyone can say if they are old enough to be considered good quality or if they should be added to the scrap metal pile
thanks
Matt

The original EMPI back in the day of quality used orange and blue packaging. All the new EMPI Chinese junk uses Yellow and Blue packaging. It even says on the label "Made In Taiwan" _________________ 2017 Street Comp Champion - Thunder Valley Raceway Park - Noble, OK

Those look like the ford courier/ford 2.3 swivels. They would prob work fine.
Its the elephant feet by anybody but berg or porsche that you have to watch.
Seen empi elephants snap in 10k miles.
I personally cant stand courier feet like these and i give them to people who like to run them. _________________ Nothing can stop the man with the right mental attitude from achieving his goal; nothing on earth can help the man with the wrong mental attitude.
