Has anyone come across them before and is there stuff any good. Looking at their pedal boxes and one or two other things. They seem reasonable.

Lovely job. Out of interest, what brake set-up are you running?

If you are getting in contact with Compbrake, ask for Stephen Fell.

I've had dealings with them in the past.
I think they are/were known as Trans Auto Sport(TAS) who went into liquidation a few years back and this is what rose from the remains of TAS

Depending upon who your dealing with has an effect on how things get dealt with there.

I have one of there pedal boxes lying here, just not fitted yet.
I can give you my evaluation once I've got my rear brake upgrade done.

Sounds like a very good set-up

Does it feel well balanced, or do you think a proportional valve is needed?

I'm probably going to get their hydraulic handbrake, looks like a good shape to be bolted next to the original e30 and provide enough space to get fingers around without hitting the original lever.
