Delphi Parts - Any good?

Hi,

I need some lower control arms, and F&R pads and disks for my 318is.

Allparts have quoted me £61.30 for the arms (Delphi) which is a fair bit cheaper than i've been quoted elsewhere - £98

Should I avoid non-original parts, or snap up a bargain?

Does anyone have experience of Dephi brake parts? What else should I be looking for? (nothing fancy required, just standard).

Cheers,

Simon

I think Delphi Lockheed is good stuff, theyve been around longer than a lot of car makers anyway.

Delphi supply a lot of car manufacturers with parts, it's a massive global company.
Shouldn't have a problem with those parts if it's not a racing car!

Delphi are pretty strong in the aftermarket but 60 bills still sounds steep to me.
Get a price for Lemforder from ECP or GF as they are OE fit anyhow. And make sure they actually send you Lemforder!
