Default Eastern Perf or American Classic chrome air shocks???

Have decided we want the smoother and nicer ride of air shocks for wifey and I riding together on our 07 SuperGlide. On Ebay we see used takeoffs and the new chrome air shocks from Eastern and American Classic.
Are the air shocks at those prices good? If not perfect are they cosmetically suitable enough and more importantly functionally safe and reliable enough to go ahead and buy and install?
If a faulty set is purchased will the merchant make it right? Does the merchant at least attempt to make sure the quality is at least decent?
I realize these are Chinese imports but from what I understand quality is getting better. .
Also, should we just risk it and get a pair of used takeoffs? Anything to look for or look out against?
&nbsp\\;
Hoping you all will help us as we can not afford to make many mistakes.
&nbsp\\;
Tom

I also got mine from Eastern Performance and mine are great! The only thing I am not completely satisfied with is the chrome is not exactly top quality but for the price it is good enough for me.

Buy from Eastern Performance. They are MUCH better to deal with from what Ive been reading. Ive ordered from them and they shipped very fast and had great communication.

I have the set from Eastern Performance.
I'm thinking about selling them.
Email me at mascman@verizon.net if you are interested.
Not even a full season on them.
Make me an offer.

I bet you could search the forum for months and not find a single negative comment about easternperformance.com.&nbsp\\; I could search for 5 minutes and offer you several links to&nbsp\\; negative americanclassic comments.
