Not sure OCAP parts (Italy) are what I'd want to put on either style coupe front end, a search of various google hits reveals a decidedly checkered experience (50/50) Myself, I'd prefer a better-than-a-cointoss reliability prediction

Thanks,
I was not aware of cheap knock-off suspension parts of questionable quality. In this case the "first rule of Italian driving" would not apply. I think I would want to see if I was scattering broken suspension parts in my wake.

I have these OCAP ones on my coupe and they seem OK for the moment. The difference that i can see is that the housing for the actual ball joint is of stamped steel rather than cast. That said, my car only does a few thousand kms of gentle driving per year (if that) so its not like these ball joints are really getting put to the test. If I was buying balljoints for my daily driver and i wanted to see 200,000 kms of hard service out of them i might think twice.
