I see on ebay a set of what looks like a pertronics knock off. Has anyone tried these? For 40 bucks it looks like it might be a good deal.

China crap aside, is it really worth the risk of being stranded on the side of the road for such a small savings? Ignition system isn't somewhere to cut corners - especially when good options are not expensive to start with.
