Alot of guys run Scorpion RRs. I have the 7/16 stud 1.6 ratio. Very nice quality.

I sell the Scorpions for $200, very nice pieces and I have never had a single issue with them.

I vote on the scorpions, just stay away from the proform rollers, they are the ones that everyone breaks.

The rockers you saw in the thread where believed to be proform. I think summit might be rebranding those too. Scorpion for the bang for the buck are the way to go.

Yeah that was my rocker I posted the pics of. I'm pretty sure they were Proforms, althought I didnt buy em so just going off from what I've seen....The rest of em are going on ebay along with the studs and locking nuts. Here's a pic of it when I pulled the valve cover off.....

ouch thats a bummer, if you look on ebay there are some no-name brands that look exactly like that, i think the proforms are a little different but i could be wrong, either way cheap rockers are a waste of money, same goes for any knockoff parts..Thanks for sharing i will be ordering scorpions from ebay tonight, just have to double check the conversion stud size(3/8" or 7/16")
