i know this may be the wrong section but i found out the other day that my dad can get suspension, brakes and other after market bits! i asked him to fond out what makes he could get...and he came back with spax,bilistien,brembo,mintex and a lot more bits!!!

he said he can get full ajustables lowering springs big brake conversions and all this stough!! aswell as also being able to get k&n filters!! he may also be able to get kent cam kits for most cars!

he mainly deals in the 4x4 sector of the market and his garage/shop specialises in landrovers/rangerovers/discoverys, he has found out he can get other tuning bits for other makes straight from the main supliers to the shops we deal with..therefor getting them cheap!! i have told him i cold sell this stough on the internet, and we have agreed if he can get the gear i can begin selling it online!! obviously at a cheaper rate than in the shops.

phew thats a long read..what you think :y:

I'm not trying to piss on any fires here but I can't help but think this might be illegal. I'm not bothered myself though, i'd buy stuff, just you might want to check up just how legal it is to be selling this stuff with your dads position, I get 15% discount at work but if I were caught buying loads and selling it on here to make profit i'd be out in a second.. Just something to bear in mind, but best of luck.

halfords much?

tbh i dont think theirs much they can do since they have a contract with teh suppliers for the parts, so they can buy off them.. and sell to customers... to fix or to sell the suppliers are making money..

but if your worried make a 5 minute phone call?

cheap mintex pads would be good, bilstein rear shocks :D blah de blah
