I actually had a whole folder of links to various BBS reps, and the various threads I got them from drew the conclusion that the sonic tuning ones were one of the best quality reps, as far as reps go.

Personally I just traded my fat fives for some actually BBS RCs off a GLI, sure one of the wheels was cracked but the tires were new so it was a pretty fair trade.

DIY: A/C Compressor [text-only]

For the record I was told that the fluid will become an acid when it mixes with air and will eat away at lines when you remove them, and that you have to have the system excavated at a shop then have air blown through before removing any lines.
