Which HLSD would you buy?
A used one from an S15 or a new cheap aftermarket one (OBX)?

I've been looking for a while now and from what I've seen the used S15 ones that come with correct output shafts average $600-$650, while the new OBX helicals are a little over $400.

I've heard good and bad things about OBX, a lot of people seem to hate the brand, but they supposedly offer a lifetime warranty on the part. With used, I'm worried I'm gonna get ripped off with something that got beat on or is junk. But I've also heard people say they'd rather buy used oem part over cheap new part.

So what do you all think?
