Never had a problemwith them myself.
Alan always bent over backwards to help me and my 65k fiesta z-s drove like a new car under their care. He's a top guy but always hassled by idiots wanting the job done to the exact minute.
Since the short blond chap ( Dave? ) left their cust service has lacked a bit but Alan is a sound guy.

inbetween popping in and out of the ward (i am home for a while looking after junior) i called them
they were busy so i was asked to call back
i called back
after further "explanations" as to why it was a 330 kit and not the 360 kit my options were:
"pay me more money and i'll fit the 360 kit but i'm not sure if the bracket will be strong enough with an additional 15mm on it"
"send them back and i'll give you a refund"
option 2 me thinks
i haven't had any other work done from them so i can't say for 100% if they are good or not as some postrers are suggesting, but my experience with them will end as soon as i've got my money back

as martin said, big brakes are needed for big stops time after time in quick succession, but on the road in a mondeo?
anyone else got more money than sense and wants to give me some of it?

there is not much difference to be honst between the originals and the 330's even with the 6 pots other than a firmer pedal
bearing in mind they are only just under 200 miles old they would have probably got more bite had they had a chance to bed in further but to have a set of stoppers that stop you in a hurry is what i'm after
the sierra with greenstuffs on 330's and wilwood 4 pots was a demon stopper even from cold and that's the feel i want to replecate on the mondeo and with a set of 18's to fill i might as well go for the biggest i can
but unfortunatly i don't have any more money to give away with month

In all seriousness, you should not be treated like this by anyone!
Martin sort dojj out with some proper brakes!
Also, dojj, hope your little 'un is in good health!
And ROFL at that-

what i'm going to do is this:
get a refund from pb
get a hub from ebay
take the hub to martin
attach a bottom ball joint to the hub
attach a track rod end to the hub
leave one of my alloys (i've got a spare 18 so it's not a problem plus i've got aa cover ) with martin
then discuss budget options depending on what will actually fit inside the wheel
and then i will have what i wanted way way back about 6 months ago when i should have actually chosen the other pill
the moral of the story?
ask dojj if he's fucked something up first before figuring out he right way to go about doing it to save yourself the hassle
btw, the mrs is out now so i've been left to type replys wihtout the threat of having to anser her ever beck and call (ducks to avoid the cushion about to be throw)
i might even tell you about coronation street when she's asleep

the focus kit won't fit so they fitted a fiestat kit which only goes up to 330's
It could simply be that someone forgot to phone and tell you that, so it went ahead, but with 330's instead.
I'm sure some uprated discs and pads would've sufficed for a commuter!
