Proform Rockers

ChunkFunky · 12-10-2002, 07:26 AM

I'm a sucka for a bargain... but at the same time I dont wanna buy junk. I see a couple guys on ebay selling these PROFORM 1.7 rockers... aside from BREAKING... what makes a bad rocker? has anyone used these? do you like them? do they suck? I know you get what you pay for, but sometimes you pay for too much..

Check them out here

They look like Ford Motorsport Rockers but I'm not sure if they are or not. I'm running Crane 1.6 Gold Series RR. IMO: You get what you pay for. How much it worth to you to buy a new set, put them on, and lash them all over again if these new ones are crap? To me, it's worth the extra few bucks...

I agree you get what you pay for. I would just save up the extra few dollars and get a really decent set.

I had them on my car for about a year and a half. I had no problems with them. But, the roller tips on them are very sloppy lose even when they are new. I would save up 50 more bucks to get a different set.

I like the Cobra 1.7's.

I don't like Proform, they just seem cheap compared to others. I us Harland Sharp. They even have special rockers for the Victor and Twisted Wedge heads. I run the TW rockers the geometry is perfect.
