Yes, I have them and have had them for about two years. They are a great design, but I did have one pretty big issue with them that may have been fixed now. The ones that I recieved were indexed for a DSM, which is 90 degree's off of where they need to be for an Evo. I caught it before I put the gears in and ate all of my valves, but it would have been very bad had I not noticed the difference. The guys selling them were really cool about it and refunded half of my money as after I re-indexed them they have worked great. If they are for a DSM all you have to do is lay you stock gears over the Skunk2's and set them to zero and mark which tooth on the Skunk2's matches the index on the stock cam gears. I used a drill press to dimple the correct tooth and then put white paint in it and painted the DSM dimple black so that it was not noticable. I takes more time to explain it then it took to do it, and it is a six bolt design with lock washers. In other words they are designed very well, and I would recommend them. Use locktite as well of course!
