Default Control arms

Has anyone tried/used these control arms from 50resto. they dont have a brand name, and theyre half as much as some of the other ones on there, can anyone vouch for their quality?

i've got them. ofcourse i only got to try them out for 30 miles haha. install on the lowers was easy, the uppers where a little tricky but you just need a pry bar haha. but i got the red ones, and the red chips off very easily.
