Carparts4less

I have just checked, sachs ones are £103.99, then take off the £15 with a discount code :mad:

That is cheap, less than half the price of mister-auto, Jim you on a back hander? :D

Oh yer, I wish, I got some stuff from them recently and it was a better price, maybe I was lucky!

I once tried calling up CP4L and man, I was on hold for nearly an hour

Good price for that clutch kit, no brainer really

bigred are the cheapest ive found, but for a few quid extra you can have a pair of refurbed calipers from GSF

The only problem with cp4l is getting the right stuff to turn up.

As for caliper seals you could used to pick seal kits up no problem for all cars, but its no longer as easy. Big red seem to be the place now. Check out the price of new calipers first though.

I have used Big red, got a seal set for some 540i front calipers, did what it said on the tin.

Try www.brakeparts.co.UK

Not sure if it's for both sides but £17.75 for rears. They do pistons too. Next day tracked and quick when I've used them before.
