Agency Power Product REVIEWS?

Hey guys,

I've been looking into AP's product line for parts for my RX8 as well as to carry the line. However before jumping into it I wanted to see what kind of reviews might be out there on the products.

I've done searches and can't find anything substantial. Just stuff like, I bought this and am waiting for it.

If any of you can enlighten me, only the people who have used the stuff I would greatly appreciate it.

I'm looking into the Sway Bars and Adj End links, the Underdrive Pulley.

THanks, Rishie

There hasn't been too much out for the RX8 untill late this fall. I haven't had time to put it on my car and test it out yet.

Matt at Vivid was nice and helpful when I ordered my suspension stuff. It was shipped out that day.

After further looking at the AP exhaust Polak was right it tapers down to 2.5" for the stock.

I think Vividracing means well, but they just are a little slow in communication sometimes. They need to work on that.

I have their radiator hoses. Good stuff. Quality made pieces. Yeah, I have had some hit & miss experiences with Vivid though. I would recommend Jason over at RX8store or Matt over at rx8garage.net far more.

BTW, pullies are useless. Won't give you anywhere near the claimed amount of power.

Vivid and AP, after speaking to them. Same owner, but different companies. That's all I know.

We might pickup the product line but I have to test the products first before we'll put our name behind them as a distributor.

Keep me updated.

thanks guys,

Rishie

AHH I see. I do like the way the exhaust looks also. Maybe we should hold off until more of their product gets here. Or maybe they'll sponsor us so we can test it. hehe.

I defintely like the AP one the best out of all of them. I do however like the MS exhaust a lot as well. The Cork, not for me. I personally have the Espelir Dual exhaust and love it. It's perfect for me. I think the AP might be the only thing similar to it.

I got a partial sponsorship from Mackin so I can't complain for the price I paid.

Since we're in the suspension section, I guess what I'm really looking for is reviews on the Sway bar and endlinks.

Thanks, Rishie

Ok so i just received my stuff. I'll post a review if we decide to install them. I'm gonna talk with AP tomorrow regarding some questions i have.

Initial impressions of the Endlinks were great, as well as the REAR BRake lines I got. The Brake lines are a GREAT VALUE, no doubt.
