Rear sets

I'm trying to figure out which rear sets to go with. I don't care new or used. There are a lot of choices cheap eBay ones,vortex, voodoo,woodcraft and etc. I'll take any input people have. Also if anyone selling any please let me know

How bad eBay's Chinese knock off have to be to justify paying that much of a difference?

What's so wrong with knock off's?

The problem would only arise if one were to break. I agree, how hard is it to mess up a piece of metal, but if it broke... it would most likely fail while you had all of your weight on it... then bad news bears.

Track or street?

If track, go with the industry standard -- Woodcraft or Vortex. Why? Because they're stout, and if you go down and bend/break a peg chances are better than even that either there will be a trackside vendor carrying spares or someone in the paddock will have a spare and will help you out.

If street, it doesn't matter.
