They probably make and sell 10 times the number of sleeves that Darton does. Their ductile iron sleeves are just as good as Dartons.

yea i think people get caught on the bandwagon of things and dont really take into consideration ductile iron holds a good ammount of power no matter who makes them like GE,benson,LA,Darton ect they just jump onto whatever the ''phase'' is at the time

which in return singles other companies out as not being so good its just a trend IMO

used them in my first build held up fine even with not the best tune... its all in the install you could have the best sleeves and have them insltalled by joe schmows garage and they wont be worth a sh#t... or have nock off sleeves installed by a qualified machinest and have them hold up great.

yep i feel the same way, people are always quick to say get the best of the best, but when you are talking about ductile iron if installed right it will hold just as good as any other sleeves
