    So, as per the thread related to brakes, I started shopping around to see what I wanted/needed for the car.
    Then, given that I stumbled upon a brilliant German site with some awesome pricing (for context, ECP in comparison are expensive!!!), I decided to get some other goodies as well.
    And so Parcel Force van showed up earlier today... (Evil laughter)
    The total list for next month will be huge:
    - oil change service
    - 2 new pzero 20"s (wanted really to swap to different rubber but got two new wheels and tyres as a "courtesy" of the insurance company - so it only made sense to renew the other two)
    - new springs
    - brakes all around
    - change brake fluid
    - MOT
    - finally test the Revo software (even more evil laughter)...

    I'll keep you posted!

    Hi Morski,
    the site is *******.co.uk
    They have a rolling discount thing - it goes up to 23% and it is very easy to spot when/how it peaks.

    Hope this helps...

    Used them a few times now for the different cars.
    Be careful on the delivery as if you don’t order something like £70 it’s not free.
    Not that good if you are urgently needing something as it can take a week or so but otherwise way cheaper than anywhere in the U.K. I could find. Think my discs and pads was half the price of the local factors even cheaper than euro own branded stuff

    How about: " They are great if your orders are above £70 as the delivery is free in that case; You can really save a lot with some upfront planning, given the free deliveries take a week or so..."
    Just sayin'...

    Don’t get me wrong the prices are great. Used them for quite a lot of stuff but needs planned as you said. Other thing is the app has higher discounts than the website. Last time I ordered it was 19% on website and 21% on app.
    Last order came in 3 days so can’t argue with that.
    They have all the brands which is good as places like euro has their own favoured brands and they can’t get others.
    They were the only place I could find that could get the trw and brembo stuff I was looking for.

    I found it’s more the wheel/tyre combo that makes the biggest difference. On 18s it’s the most comfortable and as you go bigger and lower profile the ride gets worse.
    Notice that going from when winters 18s to summer 19s

    You cannot go wrong with the b12 pro kit. I'm doing just the springs now as shocks seem to be in a very good shape but will be swapping them for the Bilstain ones as soon as the time's right (so effectively doing the kit in two steps).
