I believe so.. superspring and Hamann have some partnership thing going where they "specifically manufacture to Hamann's specifications"..... but. price is like almost double.... :thumbsdown:

BUT i'm a brand-whore... as you can see below..i bought hamann and didnt regret one bit!

personally i like the look of acs front and rear spoiler, more than the forthcoming bmw sport kit.

re exhausts i talked at length to the technical director at birds, a respected uk independent specialist, in terms of quality he recommended hartge, dinan or acs. He wasn't as confident and couldn't personally recommend other brands.
