I don't want to **** anybody off, but I've just recieved in the post my whitelines rear droplinks. They're identical to the ones in the group buy and cost £32 inc vat from demon tweeks! I also bought pro kit Eibachs for £149, which as far as I can see is £20 cheaper than the likes of TSL!

Feel free to slag me off if I've missed something!

Question

Aren't these PLUS VAT and Postage? I have the Demon Tweeks motorsport catalogue and had a look at prices when joining the JWRacing group buy. I'm sure they worked out slightly more expensive and if not "ce la vie" Can't comment on springs though

Mmmmm makes you wonder if we are getting ripped off by the specialist suppliers its almost like there is a cartel on prices ?

For example Whiteline ALK (KCA319A) is £86.73 from Demon Tweeks, compared to £135 from JW Racing, and £138 from ScoobyMania (that's a 60% increase !)

Also Whiteline solid drop links £31.62 from DT compared to £41 from JWR and £42.30 from ScoobyMania (a 34% increase !)

All the above prices taken from the suppliers websites and include VAT.

Unhappy

I never knew Demon Tweeks were that cheap.

I found the price hike differences last year on silicon hoses. £29 from Rally Design but $43 from most places.

Bugger, I missed them [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img] have already ordered some from JW Racing. The prices for the other bits are really good too! Looks like I'll be getting the ALK and ARB's from there in future
