Upon first e-mail, i was told to pay MING the money for the brakes, so i duely did, im sure with the small amount of e-mails i have received, if there was a problem with the money i would have been told.

And, more to the point, the first eta from the Ian himself was the tuesday after margram park.

Im not overjoyed of the wait, im just glad that the cars not on the road, otherwise i would have been fooked

Tillio, firstly I 'm slightly confused as to why you didn't deal with Ian directly and had to go through Ming ...Not that its any of my business though

Secondly, I suppose you wouldnt know if Ians recieved clear payment for them? ...just a thought!

Personally me been me, I would of got them fitted by Ian as well, like how Eagles and some others have done it in the past so at least that way, theres no confussion over whats what .. and for the fact I wouldnt feel comfortable fitting something as vital as brakes myself, as knowing my luck so far this year I'd be kissing a barrier or a ditch in no time at all

As with most things, you get what you pay for
Just to piss on your bonfire slightly, I'm sure I remember Bruce Read changed from Godspeed to AP's at one point & got nothing but hassles (discs warping etc)

Oh & I got a 325mm set for my cossie & was extremely happy with them. Yes it took longer than expected to recieve them but it was well worth the wait for the quality of the end product, especially considering how cheap they were

What is the point in posting all you good / bad experiences, the point is, THIS particular kit has gone "missing in action". Now we'll see how good (hopefully) Ian is in the way that he deals with it .

Blimey , I go away for a few days and all hell brakes loose - I have been at the pod since friday at the Jap show and havent replied to many messages as took most of the week sorting stuff out to show at the show.

To give the right story behind these kits , I made the front and rear kits for someone about 2 YEARS ago and was paid at that time , the customer changed his plans after they were made an he and myself have been trying to sell them since then , as it was the first and only 355mm kit I have ever done for the RS turbo I wasnt prepared to have them back as for all I know I may never have sold them , I have sent them to many dealers in that time whom they and there customers wanted to see them so I have spent quite a lot in delivery charges to try help the original customer out ,

Now they have been sold and the buyer has paid the person who owns the brakes not me , they were sent out last week and I have been back on to the couriers again this morning who are telling me they have been mis-sorted and have gone to the wrong depot , they reckon that I put the wrong postcode on the parcel but having checked our receipt the right one is on there , the kits are going back into there system and will be with either tomorrow or wednesday , it is 2 parcels that you are getting.

Hopefully this will clear up a few things and stop the lynch mob from getting any bigger....

If anyone comes to my unit and see's me and my set up you will make your own minds up that I am not a rip off merchant , I am very passionate about my products , about the look and quality which is why I dont employ anyone , have done so in the past and the quality suffers , so now I do everything , which does makes things slow , which doesnt suit everyone but there are other brake suppliers for them.

Cheers for the support guys Eagle , nath ect

Ian, im glad its sorted now.

Didn't know the whole story about them being Mings kits, thought it was weird paying Ming, but as he's a regular on here, and i didn't question it much (which is a bit of a blonde moment for me) In hindsight, i wish i would have know this before

Eagle, thanks for the PM, Ians got a decent friend in you

Lets hope this is put to bed, and another topic starts at the weekend "look at my spanky new brakes"
