Good, Low Price Roller Rockers?

I'm looking for a new set of 1.6 Roller Rockers (Self Aligning) but I'm also looking to save some money while doing so.

What brand (part number) makes a good roller rocker at a good price?

I ran ProForms in 1.5 on a stock cam and later a zz4 cam with springs that were 110lbs on the seat for a total of like 45K and a friend who always considered ProForm unusable garbage admitted the rockers seem completely fine yet. I would not use them in a setup like I have now but they served me well when the car was milder.

You are doing springs at the same time right??

I have the Scorpions SA's. They have served me well.
5 years of abuse and counting.
I wouldn't put Proforms in my lawn mower, even if they were given to me.

I just saw a set on the For Sale forum. I have just got mine in that I got for 80 shipped to me scorpions in great shape. I know you said new but I didnt know if you meant brand new or new to you.

I wouldn't mind buying used ones at all. I've been keeping an eye out.
