We're in for a rough time as far as prices go. I know SC's are up about 20% already!

Yep, PFC brake pads/components up 50%.

I guess you could expect to pay R5k for a set of Endless pads soon.

http://www.1strace.co.za/ seems to be working fine now.

They've always had some link problems - there are two links for each item, one from the pic, and one from the "View Product" button.
So if a link doesn't work properly try the other option.

Don't take their quoted prices as fact. Always email and ask.
eg: Bridgestone RE11S 225/45R17 have been quoted at R2000 for at least a year, and my last two sets (the most recent three weeks ago) I got for R1750.
Doubt if I'll ever see that price again though

I am impressed.
I have just had a custom made 304 stainless steel exhaust fitting for 1/4 of the price of an imported brand (e.g. HKS/Perrin etc). It's resonated so i.m.o a great sound, but what I'm most impressed with is the quality of the work. The stainless steel is obviously good quality material, but the quality of the welds is excellent.

Just for comparison, he had a BMW on the lift which had another brand of exhaust on it (ah screw it... it was a power flow custom exhaust) - and let me tell you - on close inspection I was really unimpressed with the welding and general quality by comparison.

Total cost was R6700 - which (again i.m.o) is not expensive for something that was custom made 76mm/3in pipes all in 304 stainless steel, TIG welded, with resonator, slash cut tips and all the labour, fitting etc!

EDIT: I can feel it's got a few more HP too, and I've saved a few kg's too (didn't measure exactly, but holding the pipes etc before the finished fitting it showed an obvious difference. That STD back box is heavy!

TMSS is top notch.

Website working fine now...
Did you ask for a discount - or do they just give it to you?
Is that per tyre, or for the set?

If it's R1750 for a set, I'll take 4...

[86 South Africa]

Ditto... Cos that's cheap.

Price is each. I would love to buy 4 for R1750

In life, you don't get what you deserve.
You get what you can negotiate 'an all.

About a month ago,

I purchased my own Motul RB660 - Cost approx R330 Incl VAT
www.darkartz.co.za

And Stainless Steel brake lines - Cost approx R900
www.powerbrake.co.za

And got them done at Clutch&Brake Fitment (CBF) Centre in Randburg,

http://clutch-and-brake.co.za/

You can find then in Strydompark, your first left off Malibongwe drive on Rocky street,

Great service delivery, confident in fitment of brake lines, quick and guarantee quality workmanship,

Cost between R400 - R500 incl VAT, to change brake fluid and change brake lines,
A bargain for the guys that are DIY challenged like myself

[FT_86_SM_GP]

Purchased 4L of Motul Gear 300 75W90 which cost R796,00 Incl VAT
www.darkartz.co.za

You can also get Motul products locally from Goldwagen Daleray
011 477 9979

Got it changed at Imperial Toyota Strijdom park,
Approx R500-R700 labour (NB Labor can be negotiated at your Toyota dealership)
They charge you a little for a few washers/plugs and gaskets.

I printed this out and gave it to the service adviser to ensure a good job is done, I doubt they looked at it thou,
