Thanks. I wasn't aware of that. But front and back are different aren't they? Reason I ask is that when I surf to look for places to buy they have separate parts for front and rear...though when I come to get my credit card out they say can't do entire order! Maybe I need to buy from several places which is a pain re shipping internationally.

Thanks for the websites - will check out. I'm not going to do it right yet. I'm going to get the parts then do in a few months. Since I'm keeping my SL forever I'm happy to spend more to change related parts at the same time so maybe change wheel bearings, repack, rotors, pads etc....I tend to upgrade systems one by one if anything goes on it eg. steering had an issue awhile back, hence replaced most of the steering durables eg. dampers, buses etc, so good for years to come.

Regards

Alan
