    Compbrake parts?

    Does anyone have any experience of Compbrake suspension and brake parts?

    I'm looking to get a set of alloy hubs, top mounts, and an adjustable pedal box in the near future and their prices look good!

    Brake kits look good too, but I'm set on Wilwood for that side of things.

    Re: Compbrake parts?

    ive had quite a few things from them, they are good to deal with, despatch quickly and the goods are good quality, not quite as nicely finished as wilwood or whatever, ive had master cylinders and hubs from them before. if you are loking at getting wilwoods you might like to see my ebay auction starting on thursday night for full wilwood front set up.

    thanks

    Do you mind if I ask how much that setup was? (minus the hubs which I'm going to get anyway)... at the moment the Wilwood 285mm midilite kit from Rally Design for £399 +vat seems to be the best deal from what I have seen - even the ebay Wilwood deals can't match it.

    I have used their strut tops in two cars and they are excellent quallity, lightwieght, and cheap.

    The spherical bearing they use are teflon lined and is self lubricating so its fit and forget.

    They have a unique system, for clutch cable attachment, that leaves the factory idea for dead, IMHO.

    Just bought brake bias valve from them all ok quick delivery and it works fine, knob not as tight as it might be on the shaft but it was a hell of a lot cheaper than anyone else.paul
