    Watch the thickness of your oil seals when buying from ebay and other non oem vendors.
    On the left, 11mm thick seals. Totally useless as you wont be able to get the wire clips into the seating groove when they are fitted.
    On the right, 8mm thick and 9.5mm in total. Just right.
    Make sure you check the thicknesses as well as the diameter.
    I hope the quality is ok? Only time will tell.
    Unless any other members have tried that make?

    Only one way to a slove that problem.
    Don't play around with getting parts for a couple bucks less.

    Fork seals are one item I always buy genuine, some of the suspension guys hate aftermarket seals as they cause more stiction than OE
