What about 'em? They look nice. They're nicely machined and probably work pretty well. ????

I just paid $1200 for T&D shaft rockers for my new AFR227 heads. Jesel are about the same. There are a few that are a little cheaper Probe comes to mind. You have to ask yourself why these rockers are so "cheap"

Frankly, I can't imagine paying $1200 for a set of rocker arms. Those seem overly expensive, rather than the others being 'cheap'.

When they break it won't seem that cheap anymore. Quality always has its price.
Shaft rockers are sometimes a necessity in big port applications, to avoid sideloading the valve.
