Bagged A8

Recommended Posts

Talking of wheels, the 17" wire wheels i bought a few months back looked a little small under the 8's gargantuan arches so i've upgraded to 20"

Only test fitted them yet.. due to the need for larger spacers/longer bolts and the amount of salt on the road.

As soon as the salt has gone they will be on the car and at the moment the car is being used daily.

My camper also comes out to play in the spring so the 8 won't be driven as much.

Just been awarded "pratical classics magazine restorer of the year" award for my bus too smile.gif

I knew there must be more suppliers out there somewhere, certainly looks good kit mike, It say on the website that you have to have it installed by a authorized HPS dealer?

I found another company that would sell me a kit for a D2 but the problem was that i've got all the air management already so just need the struts/bags, this company were having non of it and wanted me to buy a complete set up off them. Ive got a feeling that HPS might be the same?

I would of ordered my kit from Hss(the company) buy now, but still waiting to sell the 17" wires for the funds.

Oh there are some more pics of that D2(and D3) on their site.... it does look nice smile.gif

Ant,

Those 20" wires you've got.

Yes the kit is expensive, but I read his reply as they would sell us the struts, the 'kit' I think is the comps and contols. I'll find out when they answer my e-mail.

While it is expensive, by the time I have got the kit from the states I will have speant 1.5 K (no comp / tank / controls) Kit + shipping + duty + VAT + handling. Then there will be all the fabrication and trial and error.

While pricey this would just bolt on! smile.gif
