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.

Hi Alan,

No need to go far, I just got my new set of cross drilled Zimmerman front and rear discs, front wheel bearing kits, parking brake shoes from Valiant Auto Parts, Mongkok, HK. Look for Steve, and you can verify if he has for your model year. No sure if he carries the EBC Redstuff or Akebono's, please let me know if he does. I forgot to have my son ask if he carries them.

Hope this helps
