stockers are fine just replace them every once in a while no need for expensive stuff that will wear out imo

My stock ones started leaking within 2 years; GTT ones have been on for 2.5 years with no problems ...

Also, how come the stock ones come of easily and are simple to refit when aftermarket ones are not easy to remove and refit ... better seal maybe?
