Ignition switch choices
On Rock Auto, the prices of their C5 ignition switches start at $27.××, escalate quickly to $70.××, and go on up to $109.××. The Delphi switch is $80.××. So the question becomes is it really worth the $53 bump to get the Delphi part? I guess what I really want is input from those who have actually purchased, installed, and used the $27 SKP switch. I'm doing the labor myself, so that's not a consideration.

For car parts on RockAuto, what I usually do is cross-check the part # on Amazon to see what reviews I can find.
I wish RockAuto had a built-in item and/or brand review feature.
I wouldn't go AC Delco just because its OEM doesn't mean it's better than aftermarket. Case in point: The crappy AC Delco harmonic balancers that are still poorly designed and fall apart- even after 25 years they still make this garbage part the same way.

So of course I will take this as a challenge and buy one, install it, and review it myself.

They have a 12 month warranty as well. You can also check reviews on SKP ignition switches for other cars to see, generally, how good the quality is.
