I've read mixed things myself, but I've had them fitted for a couple of years now, approx 20k miles and 4 trackdays with no issues so I can only go of my own experience. I'm sure there are much better out there, and if i keep the S3 I plan on fitting something a bit more upmarket, but for the money the AP's have been great

well i'm attempting to keep the budget on the floor so AP's fall nicely into the price range for a full setup, did plan to go air ride but almost fell over when i got a quote cos of the 4mo setup

It's like Christmas morning here at VC Towers  :evilgrin:

...a box of low



...some 19" rimmy goodness



..with a smattering of stretch on the tyres



First job is calipers, .:R32 ARB and wheel bearings then its time to hit it with the stick, although I don't think there's much to drop onto these rims....
