GReddy Gauges worth the $ ?

I got a 60mm GReddy A/F gauge laying around and I really like how it looks. In the sport of keeping things matching I would like to get my Boost and Oil Press. Gauges from GReddy also. But their gauges are all ~180 or so (Yeah I know the A/F was ~$280).

Worth the price?

Thanks.

greddy gauges

I have greddy 60mm warning gauges- boost and egt and i could not be happier with them. Sure they are a little more expensive , but you get what you pay for right? There are other very high quality gauges out there also. Choose what you like, but in you case since you already have 1 greddy, i think your decision is pretty easy

I love their gauges, just wish the black background could be illuminated in red to match the dash at night...

I've used them quite a bit in the past.. Nothing but a thumbs up.

Anyone seen the silver gauges that glow red? I wonder how close that would come to the stock gauge colors.

As for quality, I did some research before buying my Greddy A/F gauge (60mm warning) since it's quite spendier than other options. The fact that it comes with its own o2 sensor for more precise reading and also the fact that it's not a cheesy (IMO) lean/stoich/rich gauge sold me.

To each his/her own, but in the end the quality of Greddy made it worth the price.

For me the GReddy and Apex'i gauges were too rich for my blood when I started modding my Eclipse. If I were starting over with a new car such as an Evo, I'd probably do the expensive imported gauges just to try something different. The choice to go with Autometer was made easier because of existing gauge pods based on US measurements (and of course specific AM sizes) which would required no modification.

To each is own I guess, there is not any difference in quality - other then A/F style as mentioned that includes more then just your typical flashy light thing. DSM tuners have other wideband options to choose from that offer even better readings.

Its funny, I hear AM products are all the rage in Japan now because they come from "overseas." Go figure. I wonder if they idolize NASCAR drivers.

Thats why I went with Defi D-Series.
