Brake Disc Bulk Buy?

Due to the lack of discount available for anything to do with anything with an RS badge on it I rang up a certain company who supplies the trade with their parts and asked for a price for 20 x front discs for the B7 and 10 x rears, these are the prices I got.
20 * Front discs £216.40 each plus VAT
10 * O/S Rear £251.27 each plus VAT
10 * N/S Rear £251.27 each plus VAT
My issue is that this is not the best deal in the world and if I have to buy them all up front to get this price I am going to be taking a £10k risk and a house full of metal…
Also I would have to add a delivery charge on top to shift them to everyone so add about £25 as they weigh a tonne.
What are peoples thought on this, if I can get enough people together I may do it.

I assume that's £216.40 for a single front disc which when added up with VAT is about £520 for a pair. So after postage cost people will save about £30-£40, that's a lot of money for you to layout for a saving of that amount.

The price on Stoke's website is wrong, they won't honour it, the cost of the discs have gone up I'm afraid, and the MAX discount on these is 12%

Did you not take issue with them as their website states “otherwise" ?

Read what klauster says , they revise the price when you contact them and I'm sure they are more now

Looks like I’ve got a nice little earner sitting in my garage then. Got the whole set for £800 ish a couple of years ago (from Stoke Audi).
Still haven’t needed to fit.
Klauster and I posted at the same time. Don’t instruct me what to do. !!
I was trying to help the OP
