It would have to be a decent discount to get me to buy anything else of those miserable bastards, I've never been anwhere else where people are more disinterested in their customers!

Tell me about it, ordered some coswofth racing pistons for my S2, arrived next day in post but with ot piston rings

Took another 3 months to get the rings off them as they ran out and would only order them in when they have 50 orders for em

Ended up getting custom made by total seal in america

So think they are a pack of A$$H@LE$

Cosworth deal direct with the general public, surely they would be cheaper direct?
