>>I gotta say, my experience has been 100% negative when buying "OEM" parts rather than actual Original Equipment. I've wasted so much money having to buy the original equipment parts AFTER buying the cheaper OEM parts and having them break on me. So never again. A couple hundred bucks is way cheaper than the alternative.

I'm sure there have been folks who can get away with it and had good luck with non stamped parts...but for me, never again.

I am to sensitive to the performance difference to tolerate anything less.
