Seems to have good products, but difficult to buy them. I need them fairly soon so might have to look elsewhere for my disc replacement

Am having the same problem, been waiting 6 months now for a set of rear disc to match the fronts.

Admittedly this was initially due to an issue with r180 diff equipped cars like my Type R, requiring a 190mm handbrake drum, and thus getting hold of the said discs.

Which he said he had got over a month ago :(.

i can always get him on the phone when i try, he does loads of rallying on weekends though and he was out on the showground stages last weekend

Ash , Ian said his emails are all up to date , check you are sending them to the right address , ian@godspeedbrakes.co.uk

Dave , Ian is going to contact you as he got the order of discs in yesterday but the discs are already grooved and dont match your fronts

ash1 18 February 2005 07:32 AM

I've been replying to an email Ian sent me little while ago, since then I replied and have heard nothign back for over a week!

awd wrx 18 February 2005 10:01 AM

perhaps he dodn't get your last one , try again

ash1 18 February 2005 03:55 PM

okay, I've emailed him again ! seems like its not just me who has the problem though ! well if his discs are as good as people make out then I guess its worth some persistence!

Don't worry, I had problems getting hold of Ian too but he did get back to me - problem I had was with the Courier and not Godspeed.

Will be my first port of call next time I want discs...

awd wrx 18 February 2005 04:50 PM

what you have to realise is that Ian works on his own , does all the machining and talking to / emailing people , if he sits at the phone he cant be making parts , if he doesn't make the parts someone will be on the internet moaning , bit of a vicious circle , He hasn't found anyone yet who can give the same advise or work to his standards ,

messiah 21 February 2005 10:50 AM

I didn't realise Ian worked on his own.

Just fitted my discs this weekend - brakes are miles better already and they're not even bedded in yet! :D

awd wrx can you update me on these discs please as 2 weeks have passed and no contact from Ian as stated.

Sent him e-mails requesting info and no response, I know he is busy and works on his own but its been 7 months now since the initial order and my patients is wearing out.

Sorry to have to post this on here, I don’t like doing it but I am getting more response from you than Ian.

awd wrx 04 March 2005 09:19 AM

As you know the wait has been because he couldn't get the rear type R discs until recently , you dont have to make out that he's been stringing you along for 7 months.......

Correct, I am not denying the fact he had to source the discs, and I have waited patiently for 7 months, when you say recently you mean 2 months, because thats how long ago Ian said he had/could do them.

I was told 2-3 days to machine then post, so giving a minimum of a week for them to turn up I think is reasonable, but no sign of them.

Next I find out on here that he has some but with different grooves, fair enough so I send Ian an e-mail requesting a picture of said discs as I may consider these due to the time I have been waiting and no response.

It has also been 3 weeks since you stated he was going to contact me, still no contact, I had hoped that the length of time I have been waiting would have made my case a bit more of a priority, obviously not.
