Default Question about a company called "Performance Concept"

I'm looking at a set of shaft roller rockers by a company called "Performance Concept". Didnt' really find anything on them when I Googled them. I have to buy my full setup with rockers, guideplates, studs, etc. and for a little more I can get a set of these rather than the Comp/Crower brands that I was looking at. They're stainless steel with a pretty big trunion, not sure if they're needle bearing but I would assume so.

Yeah, they're Ebay. I've bought name brand stuff from this seller before new in the box so I'm not too worried about the seller. They're pretty nice and have talked to them on the phone before. They even told me to call them if I had anymore questions about the rockers.

Those look pretty slick, and you can adjust the pushrod contact height too! Do they make them, or did they tell you who does?

They said "Performance Concept" does. I was just wondering if anyone on here had heard of them. I was going to call tomorrow and ask some more questions about them. I would love to have some shaft mounted rollers and for only a few bucks more than what I was going to buy it seemed like a deal. Just nervous about buying something from a company that I haven't heard of before. At least with Comp/Crower/ARP I know what I'm getting and the quality.

They look fairly decent quality though. Just not sure 100% just yet.

Yeah, I would like to know where they're made. Always a little leery about ferrin made stuff, if it is. For all you know, Performance Concept could just be an unknown distributor name, not the manufacturer. For the record, I've read some bad stuff about the Pro Comp shaft lifters. Their rockers look pretty stout but the shaft looks cheesy, and breakage was one of the complaints. By comparison, the shafts on the ebay P.C. ones looks beefier, but that's still no guarantee that the sets are any better.

Yeah, don't get me started on Pro Comp stuff. I won't buy it after the horror stories I've heard. Especially after that deal with their heads and the springs coming through into the runners.

Did you mean "ferrous" like ferrous metals?

You Northerners and your quirky little accents.

Just got off the phone with them. They're a company in Australia which reminds me of what people said about ProComp when they first came out. He said he had an American name brand from Probe Industries which I've heard of before. They're just 200 bucks more so it looks like I will be staying with my original plan.
