« on: May 11, 2014, 11:28:24 am »
So stumbled across this website last night but never really heard of them before,so just wondering if anyone has dealt with them before or know anyone who has?

Has anyone heard anything about them before

Any input would be greatly appreciated

I've seen this place on the TV before supplying a customer with seats for a project and remember when they were on the TV they mentioned beginning to sell brakes and a number of office chairs in the form of Recaro bucket seats etc...

Couldn't see any that I would call decent.

Looks like the same stuff as sold as a few different brands, like k sport and buddy club. Think its all made by PB brakes and suspension in Taiwan.

The only set I'd consider off there is the 360mm TAROX ten pot kit, but I can get them cheaper than that site if I wanted anyway!

What's wrong with the Brembo 4 pot & Tarox 6 pot kit for the MK5? I said decent not best brake kit in the world.
