- Wait! I'm the guy who thought that the brackets with the Spax shocks were a rip-off at about $100 for the pair...the 40 dollar mark came in somewhere else, I'm still trying to find it in my mail arch

- "I SAID THAT!!!" ........suddenly the place goes silent I said that you can buy the rear Spax kit from Faspec for $243. By your calculation of ~$100 per Spax, the brackets only cost you $40, not $100

- I am looking at getting the front and rear Frontline kits. Can I really save money by ordering from England? Has anyone used the Frontline front kit with the MGB brake conversion? Any problems?

- Steve, again, the front kit with shipping is about $550 from GB, $600 from The Proper MG (w/o shipping). Both kits from GB are about $820 with shipping and then you MIGHT have to pay some customs. I

- Mini Mania buys this kit from Frontline in England. I haven't done the math on the currency conversion, but I imagine it would be less expensive to buy these items from the source. http://www.mgcars.
