Is £443 a good price for new B8's at front, B6's at rear and 30mm Eibach springs?

Take off the price on the springs and it's only £300 odd for shocks, last I saw them for was around £140 each front and £110 each rear |

Well its via a German site I found, had to get Google to translate it for meThe B8's are Sprints, don't know if there are different types of B8's or not but they are going for 146,00 EUR each so thats £121. Can put a link up to the site if people are interested!? ________________________________________ Still watching you... |

Hmm i'm after the b6/b8 combo (already have springs) and it's very tempting. Not overly keen on spending £520 on a foreign site, could be a nightmare if something goes wrong. Can pay with PayPal though which normally screw the seller.About 20% cheaper than in the UK though... |

Hmm think I initially messed up on the figures! For that lot its more like £515, providing the Eibach kit gives you both springs and they're not 119 EUR each  ________________________________________ Still watching you... |

I thought because it's within the EU there is non?"Goods that have been produced in the European Union (EU), or that have been imported into an EU country with duty paid, are 'in free circulation' within the EU. Customs duty is not payable on acquisitions (imports or purchases) of goods that are in free circulation." http://www.businesslink.gov.uk/bdotg/action/detail?itemId=1078086525&type=RESOURCES |

I would definitely not pay an overseas supplier with PayPal. Pay directly with a credit card. This gives you a legally defined route to get your money back if it does go tits up (Consumer Credit Act, Section 75) which you wouldn't have with any other payment method. ________________________________________ Rich |

Buy 3 sets for your own 3 gti6's then sell them here at a price in between your discount and ECP prices. Win win for everyone (apart from you if you get sacked). |
