I replied to a message about this the other day: I don't know if the
price is still available but the proper MG was advertising the swivel
axle set for $169 as a special price....there number is 1-800-711-3368.
I have only ordered from them once (lowered front springs and rotors/
brake components) but the price was very good and they arrived very
quickly with normal shipping charges. There has been a number of
recomendations and complaints about the various suppliers of MG parts
and I would like to add my opinion and ask the list about others which
I have not delt with:
Moss: Very knowledgeble but $$$$, but fast shipping, two part catalog
is a pain both in browsing and the prices
Vicky Brit: Dumb as rocks, slower than hell, always out of stock, but
very good catalog (moss prices.....).
Special Interest: Never Ordered from them
Proper MG: One experience, good price/service/productbut is that just
good luck?
Britek: Excelent for performance, knowledgeble, good
Northwest Imports: Great prices but limited product range
I have not ordered from the moss distributiors and have no personal
opinion but others seem to endorse them heavily. I have, however,
ordered some things from the source (England, Britan, Great Britan, UK
or what ever is the current variation) and have been very happy with
price and service but shipping is a problem.
