Default Livorsi guages

How's their quality been lately? Was about to buy a new set and had heard their quality had fallen off a bit. Anyone got any input?

I have to agree with BB, as much as I don't want to. Their gauges look awesome, but lately, they don't work as good as they look. The last several installs that we have done have needed at least 2 of the gauges replaced immediately. Some needed 3 or 4 replaced. They either read WAY wrong, got stuck, didn't work, etc. We played with 3 oil pressure gauges and senders. I knew what the engine made for oil pressure when it was cold at idle. We tried all 3 senders with all 3 gauges, in every possible configuration, and the pressure reading on the gauge varied from 55-90 psi. To me, that's not within the normal range of acceptable variation.

Now that Autometer has different color bezels and dials, they are the way to go. They seem to have a really nice piece. I have been installing and using Livorsi gauges for over 20 years now. I really like their stuff and would love to continue using it, but they are going to have to get back to where they used to be when they led the industry.

Matt, I am not the only one to say this. I have heard thru some industry sources as well the quality is not what it use to be nor longevity. I have been using Auto Meter for the past 5 years and they just keep getting better without any problems.

Thank u for ur honest review eddie. I have been noticing erratic pressure readings as well with livorsi. Even on their mechanical stuff. I'm ditching it all in favor of the new Holley LCD touch screen dash board

Auto meter just doesn't have the colored bezels thou, if they did I'd be all in! Not sure I could handle all white.

Are you talking about the gauge rim or the little dress up bezels? The bezels will fit any gauges of the same size.
