Cheers Rhyso, I have sent off some e-mails to see if there is anything available to us, the other option we could do is all trawl local junk yards and get each other the cheapest parts of crashed cars!!!   :grin:

9 people so far, that's a great number.  Given the cost of all the parts needed, nearly £300, we should be able to squeeze a great deal from a company, the amount of cash we'll be putting their way.

The only thing I have noticed is that some of the packages seem over priced compared to if you took a similar packagein seperate parts for example caliper carriers £98
Discs £120
Pads £42

Total £260 from Vag Parts yet some companies are asking £300 plus for the entire kit!!  I am sure the Discs can be had new off ebay for around £50 so that takes the price down to £190 so I have asked in my e-mails what the discount is on just the caliper carriers as well as what the dicount would be on the whole package.  We may be as well trying to do group buys on all the seperate parts!! :undecided:

Yeah true we could get our own discs and pads and just do a group buy on the carriers??

This is very true, as I don't really want cheap eBay discs, I want some good vented ones.
