I wanted to see if anyone has actually installed the AMD mini tub inner wheel tubs yet? If so, how did they fit? I am trying to decide between these, or the US Cartool mini tub kit that I already have. It seems like if the AMD parts fit good it would be a cleaner and easier install.

The labor will be SIGNIFICANTLY less to use the AMD pieces - not to mention SIGNIFICANTLY nicer. I think this is a no-brainer and I am just totally pissed that they've come out with these because I just did mini tubs the old school way a little over a year ago.

I haven't used them yet but I would assume based on other reproduction parts that they don't perfectly. However, they will still be a better starting point than nothing. Just don't assume that they will drop in place.

Where do I find these? Haven't been paying much attention to my car lately and never heard of AMD. Thanks

I haven't finished mine yet but I did cut two new AMD inner housings to get started (original was a mess). So now they might get me for another two housings. Sheesh.

They should've been making these all along.
