Blue top steering box

Has anyone used one of these? If so is this a good price?

I don't see a price. The link just goes to a picture of the steering box. Never heard of them till I googled it just now.

Reviews seem to be very favorable on other forums. Cheaper cost, better customer service and faster core refund is what people talk about. Seems very comparable to RH.

I would give it a shot. I got a redhead about 600miles ago. Nothing too special... returnability to center has been poor for me, but I also got new moog ball joints at the same time. Going to give it some more miles before I consider adjusting/talking to redhead. Bottom line is I personally don't think redhead is all that different from what a good reman box would be.

That's not bad, mine took a crap when I moved the steering wheel
