You have to remember how many genuine parts are made in china.

Yeah i suppose my comment was a little flippant.
I just hate reading stories about people who have bought an 'alternative' to a top/reputable brand for a much cheaper price, and then complain about the item not working.
Reminded me of a guy on a forum (not sure if it was here or elsewhere) who bought a really cheap set of Brembo brake calipers/pads for his car on eBay, and was staggered when what he received in the mail was a 'dress kit' to put over your existing brake calipers to 'look' like brembos. He paid about $700-$800 for a set of 4 calipers (which is MIGHTY cheap - ask anyone who's had to replace the pads on a set of Brembos).
Like anything - if you find an item that is $100 when they're usually $500, then tread carefully.
