    Didn't all of their products have "For Off Road Use Only" on the packages? I would think that this would keep them from being held liable for the products being used on the streets.

    My thoughts exactly.. And even if it didn't say that, I believe they would say Check Local Laws or something like that.

    how so? i mean it's apc being irresponsible/negligent. i mean would u expect a maker of child car seats to not test their products and say "buy at ur own risk" or if it's known that it's not safe to say "u don't have to buy it?"

    Don't child car seats have a DOT approved logo? An accessory and a neccesity are two TOTALLY different things. Parents HAVE to have child seats, teens wanting to be cool DONT HAVE to have blue corners lights!

    lol wow, accessory and necessity are two totally different things? agreed, so basically what ur saying is that something like low profile tires do not need to be dot approved? bc the only reason they exist is to satisfy those that want big ass wheels but don't HAVE to have it. if u agree w/that then ur logic is obviously faulty. if u disagree then how can u say that a company whose main products are tailored to the automotive hobby sector does not have to be responsible enough to make products that are in line with safety specifications set forth by the dot?

    I don't personally think that they have to meet DOT standards. However, if they don't, then they need to be advertised as such. They could be items used specifically for car shows. In which case, anybody that puts the parts on a street driven vehicle does so at their own risk. Now if APC was selling these as "Street Legal" parts when they were not, then I can see a problem.

    In the end, I see it all as to how they advertise and promote their products. Not so much on the products themselves.

    I don't remember APC ever making low profile tires.. Even if they are tailored to the automotive world, why does that mean things have to be street legal? Is there not a ''Show'' aspect of the auto world? Do we not crowd car shows to look at cars that are not being driven?

    What your saying is like saying a fast food resturant should take credit for people becoming obeist (sp) because they eat their food.

    Just because its out there, doesn't mean its good for you, nor is it right. YES, we can all partake in it, but shouldn't indulge in it.

    Why should there be signs on anything saying it is wrong? There only be signs on something that is right.. Bc that's why we as humans and ADULTS are able to judge the difference between right and wrong!
