A customer bought some calipers from him and asked me to fit them.

The refurb was terrible. The calipers he supplied should have gone in the bin.

He was removed from this forum for refusing to become a trader and for selling an inferior product.

I don't see there being any issues with the new calipers he can supply.

I do feel its important to let fellow members know the experience we had though.

This are the "The calipers he supplied should have gone in the bin. " , they only had a little dirt behind the side plates because my paint shop did not get my memo to remove them before paining them and one of the connection pipes was corroded(was not inspected by my team before delivery) , this was the customers issue cause he wanted the small piston to brake first not the bigger one, customer was offered a full refund and a very good deal for new calipers, I let the pictures talk

All their listings for 18z calipers are used /refurbished items.
Would you happen to know if the calipers pw motorsport provide are of a high standard as i like the fact they can supply the whole kit needed.
Or any other suppliers you would recommend?
Cheers

I've been assured by Robert that they have changed their processes and the calipers are improved.

well there is a discount :smiley: for any purchase over 1000euro you get a discount of 50euro using the coupon code "killer50"

Just to clarify things, @vRSAlex is Robert killer666 or is Robert PW Motorsport?

PW is in Wales and Killer is somewhere abroad as far as I know.

Seems the 18z are in demand so it'd be good to know just who is reliable.
Title: Re: "killerbrakes"
Post by: 4ndy on April 26, 2016, 07:26:42 pm
Killer666 has just given price details in euros so I'm thinking he must be in Romania

pw-motorsport is Wales  Used them several times QUALITY ITEMS
