According to the seller, this stud kit is made by "ProMotion". I did a search for ProMotion, and came up with nothing...no company..website....nada. The search hits for ProMotion, lead right back to the same seller on ebay.....who goes by "Strokerdude".
I think it's interesting how the ProMotion part number is the same as the ARP part number......nice scam.

Cute how they used the same part# as ARP...but didn't mention that brand name anywhere in the ad. They are certainly fakes.
SDPC has the real ARP 234-4316 for $239.95.
Same guy sold a set of GM MLS gaskets....put Cometic in the ad title, and sold them for $130!!
(read the ad carefully - it says they are GM brand .054" gaskets). (less than $30 ea from SDPC)

I've read enough to stay away from this seller.
