Thumbs down

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 .

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...

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 ,

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!

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.

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.
