Question Opinions on these Con Rods please?

Looking to rebuild my GTB Legacy engine (Sti spec engine) and came across these:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/03-04-05-I...item3f04c06554
Good price, or too good to be true?
Works out at less than £200, plus possibly some import tax.
Feedback is Ok, what do you think?

I wouldn't buy them unless you know what make they are & even then any problems are going to be difficult to resolve with a US company.

Yeah, I realise it's basically a 'no warranty' deal.

I also found these:

The Manley rods are a known product & reputable. They will take 500bhp no probs, but I would contact Advanced Automotive in Bristol Nick will advise you best & he keeps these in. The No is 01179 672344.
