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?

Chinese anything is crap and hit and miss, just like most Chinese food too!!

Not sure where these are made, but two are from reputable companies with warranty. Personally ,I don't buy any parts from eBay and haven't heard of that other site. Maybe for my civic or other cheap ,non-performance vehicle, but not an Evo.

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.
