If not OEM you may have alignment issues. Get a decent set of eby or try murrys direct of gpc (IF THEY STILL HAVE THEM).

I wanted to know if they are an ok company.

They don’t state that they are VAG so assume not. £39.99 each? Is that the going price?

Cheers

Sounds ok if they are replacements. Sorry I was just saying the non oem stuff is not as good thats all mate, just aadvice really. Never heard of these guys so don't really know. The site looks alright so thats a start  although I can't see any security symbols on there.................

Never used them/heard of them. Their site seems OK, a bit basic but OK.
I wouldn't go and order anything too expensive from a store I didn't know until I had some dealing with them.

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.

Well they've got contact addresses for the web designer and the business, which is a start. 

However, there's no company registration details in sight and no VAT number. 

As it's a commercial website these are key pieces of information that must be included to comply with UK legislation.  Full details here.

If you buy from them use a credit card - that way you're protected.  DO NOT used Paypal - you've got NO protection with Paypal IMO.

Heh, £10 says they're buying at trade rates from GSF for some bits and selling them on with a margin.
