Being new and naive :) - what's the 'SRS discount' you guys refer to?

Rear Discs - alternative to main dealer?

Can anyone tell me if the rear discs and pads at TPS are the same as from the Stealers?? Only I have had a good price from my local guys.

Yes, TPS is owned wholly by VAG and only supplies VAG parts.

They look great Shop, nice find.

I'm running Pheaton rear disks with tiny washers used to space out the rear in some way. I can't remember exactly what Mule said about it now...

Hope you manage to get them ok ; I had a total of 4 phonecalls with various ECP stores and the upshot ( after establishing prices and online descriptions were inaccurate :bash: ), that a confirmed delivery date was not forthcoming. In the end I went elsewhere.
That aside, prices were very good :biggrin2:

You were correct, ECP were a waste of time. They stock the left but not the right WTF!?

Ordered from Germany now so problem solved I hope :biggrin3:
