Whats your guy's opinion on Chinese parts?
I try to get DENSO when I can, but for instance MD348074 (cam sensor) the only non chinese parts i can find are either refurb or are insanely expensive.
Ive gotten 1 Chinese part so far (2 years ago) cooling fan controller. Was like 1/2 of the price of a "reputable brand" and its working like a champ so far.
Just curious what people's experience has been with Chinese made parts off of Aliexpress/Ebay?

Yeah I am getting one for a Lancer ES (2003), I looked at RockAuto, but they dont ship that particular part to California because "they dont have some sort of paperwork from that manufacturer". Thats for the cheaper one. The more expensive one, well thats the one Ill be replacing, which failed after 6 months. So I dont want another one of those.
