Dont do it!!!! get and s1 like a normal human being. S3 cups are steel or something and the cup snaps in your headtube and it doesnt come out.

Trust me, the shit dont come out.

The s3 cups are aluminum for all the weight weenies, most cups are steel. That's really the only difference between the s1 and the s3.
 
ive never had a problem with my s-3, i just bought another one actually, just put it in properly and dont be an idiot and smash it in, make a tool that wont damage it when you put it in.

Yep. If you're a harder rider then get an S1, and if you don't know how to put a headset in and are going to be hammering away, get an S1. If you know your way around a scooter and are pretty smooth or not super good (and have the extra money), get an S3. They spin exactly as well though because they have the same bearings.
