Yep put exactly those on my car last year, no problems at all.
My only gripe with them is they have the same dumbass hex key design as the originals so you have little chance of removing them without the use of a grinder.
There is no "it cant be done" only "I cant do it!"

I would bother, that seller is backward I'm sure of it, I've asked the same 'either or' question twice and got the same reply 'yes' both times...

Yep, I've bought this set also. (From that exact listing) Just came through a few days ago. Delivery was quick, no problems at all. They look absolutely fine, but I haven't taken my old ones off to compare yet.

Having said that, I also bought this.

So in the future, when the links wear, I just buy the ends for less. Also, they have the fitment for bracing another spanner on so I'll be able to remove them quite happily (just did my Astra G ones a month or two ago and they have the same design) the seller of these is a member on IMOC.)

Can I just also add that for general component removal of annoying seized nuts, I can thoroughly recommend one of these. Came in real helpful when doing front shocks and droplinks on my Astra. (Especially for the big shock bolts and top mounts where the recess didn't allow me to counter-brace with a second spanner :sad: )
