Rx parts apex seals?

Hey guys! Finally I am in the process of rebuilding my s4 13b turbo, all im lacking is apex seals at this point, and after some extensive reading/research of aftermarket seals vs housing wear I've came across the rx parts seals and am almost ready to pull the trigger but as with most aftermarket seals there's not much to be found on them. I seen awhile back that GoodfellasFD was running these seals, was wondering if I could get some input on them from users of rx parts seals the good the bad ect. Also if you have input on other seals as far as long term use I would love to hear from you. Thank you!

i just installed these on my rebuilt REW per recommendation from quite a few people about 2000 miles ago. so far no complaints, only pushing around 400whp right now, talked to a few people with over 20k miles on the seals with no issues

Im gonna go for it after doing some more digging ive found where some seemingly reputable guys used these seals some years ago and I have yet to see a negative post in regards to these seals.

You can't go wrong, i've built many engines with these seals and have been very satisfied. My go-to for a build making any kind of serious power

Been using them for about 5 years myself. They work great.
