Service was great, appreciated the phone call to confirm the vehicle. Parts arrived quick. OEM fit. Will be ordering brakes as you can see by the picture. Very impressed.
I have bought this rotor on part pioneer for my Q3 and installed and used for over a week, they are amazing no squeaks no noises brakes have improved 110%. This rotors are the best so far I’ve always bought rotors and used in all three of my cars and so far these ones are the best that I have ever bought.
Thanks
Renato
Awesome parts, for a great deal, and the customer service is second to none, always willing to help, and they double check fitment to ensure you always get the right parts! Will definitely be ordering again.
I should have take a video of us changing my break but dint know sorry. Super happy brand new break for sure will get the front one with tu when needed. Dint take long to received my order thank you
The shocks were delivered fast.
The packages were well packed.
The shocks required slight modification. The plastic dust cover that pushes over the shock does not fit over the shock cap. I heated it with a heat gun to force it to fit. I also removed the metal silver metalic cap on the new shock but that makes the dust/water cap to loose.
The shocks diameter is smaller then the original therefore the cap that holds the corrugated plastic tube does not fit without some modification.
