A2 Designs pulley review

Ok so here is the full review. Dealing with Philip is great the guy is a really nice guy and stands behind his product. I got this pulley because as I said before I broke the RRM one. (I broke the key hole in it not sure how but I did) I needed a replacement so I decided to go under-drive. I got the blue one. Color does not really mater since you don’t really get to see it. When I got the part I also ordered a FPR. (I will review that in a different post) The pulley is about 25% smaller than stock and RRM. It is also about 4 oz lighter. Install was a snap with air tools. He also ships new belts with the order. You get the belts you will now need, so hang on to the packs so you remember what belt sizes they are so you can replace them. (When it comes time to)
When I started the car up, it ran normal. When I hit the gas off the line I had to be careful not to spin the tires. SO yes it does make a big difference. You can certainly feel the difference immediately. Over the RRM one too.
My lights do not really dim any more than they use to at idle.
I would recommend anyone to get this part. Philip is a nice guy and a pleasure to deal with.

ahhh. next time the car is up and being worked on take some pics from underneath. ALSO, about the dimming of the lights; when the temperature outside drops it seems my idle does the same at normal opp temps...that's when i found my lights dimming. just a heads up

sorry i wasn't clear. i have a UDP and it dims exceptionally when it's cold and the idle drops. otherwise, the dimming is minimal.

That's what I thought when I got it. I was actually checking out your thread to see what belts did you use
