I think you'll be picking bits of that out of your diff pan for a week if you even show it anything other than tarmac.

Buy cheap buy twice.

And £550 int cheap when you can buy a built up ashcroft unit, compressor and air line etc for another couple of hundred quid if you shop around.

Avoid like the plague if it was me.

I think we need some actual experience reviews rather than pie in the sky opinions

Hands in the air.........but........

We know that ARB's are the benchmark and even they don't exactly perform 100% of the time.

I can't imagine a company that no one has ever heard of has done the research and development involved in bringing a product like this to market

if its "white box" then its most likely a Chinese copy , Aston martin will probably be happy to give you an opinion , after their experience of Chinese supply !!!

I would think any reputable manufacture would be keen to put their brand name on it , esp if trying to grow a business caveat emptor !
