Supercharger Rebuild?

Supercharger Rebuild?
I apologize if this topic has already been covered. When I go to the X308 forums and type in "Supercharger rebuild" It takes me to all the model years.
Here's the question, has anyone tried these rebuild kits? If so, how would you rate the kit?
Thanks!

Not sure about that specific kit but looks similar to most and seems to have good buyer feedback. If you are going to dive in to a supercharger rebuild make sure you are handy with a hydraulic press. Also depending on M112 model you may need a puller to remove the rear bearings. Personally I was too afraid of destroying my supercharger with a press (and injuring myself) and sent it off to a pro for rebuild. Good luck!

Thank, anduha.
I'm not concerned about the execution of the rebuild (at least not yet) , but rather I am concerned about the quality of the components. In years past, EBAY sellers were not known as distributors of quality items. I'm hoping someone has rebuilt a S/C with these components and their opinion of the results.

The SKF and INA bearings are of top quality so I wouldn't worry about them. In fact, the only questionable part is the type of coupler provided. The genuine coupler has a built-in spring that provides cushioning and quiet operation of the supercharger. Some of the aftermarket solid plastic couplers are known to cause quite a bit of supercharger noise but last longer. The solid one offered is stated to be oil-filled so it might work quietly. If you prefer the genuine spring type, you can always get it (on Ebay) as a separate part.
