are they crap?
erm, yep.
i bought a long range tank, not very well designed as far as being able to get at the fuel hoses, breather leaks fuel into cabin, hoses don't fit spigots (too tight to fit and won't compress with circlips after you flog out the inside a bit so it leaks like a bastard)
you will end up paying 2/3 price for the kit from them, then another 2/3 price fixing all the bits that aren't right or getting alterations done.
the snorkel went in ok though and is an ok fit.

If I new they where that bad I would have just kept buying AVMs atleast I can get them for $120 a pair. 
What's so bad about aisin hubs?
IMHO nearly all the "aftermaket" hub manufacturers (AVM etc) existed to cater for the almost non existant market thesedays to fit hubs to cars that came without them.
I can't really think of an australian example of a car that comes with auto hubs or similar that you can't retrofit an aisin hub from a similar model to. i.e hilux, vitara etc.
I wouldn't go to an aftermarket hub unless it was an application that I couldn't get an OEM Aisin hub for - 35 spline or something.
