Sunpro temp/Oil Pressure/Amp questions

I'm looking into getting some aftermarket gauges because I don't trust the idiot lights. Has anyone tried these Sunpro gauges http://www.sunpro.com/product_detail.php?pid=16312
Are they ok quality? I'm broke so they are really all I can afford. I know there are probably better ones out there but cheap ones are better than none... I think. Also are they very difficult to install?

I have a 86 2.8L camaro and I was wondering if installing these would mess up anything, like the fan kicking on or anything with the computer. Also I am assuming that since the brake lines were metric everything is metric and I will probably have to get the metric conversion kit right?
Thanks!

Re: Sunpro temp/Oil Pressure/Amp questions

Sunpro gauges are ok. They are good for the money. I currently have a mechanical temp gauge install by them and has been working great for me for years. They are pretty easy to install. It shouldn't mess up anything on your car as long as you also retain your factory sensors. There was a spot on my V8 water pump that had a NPT fitting where I relocated the factory sensor. You might have to do the same...
