quest for cheaper parts

hi roland
i shall be ordering some parts from you soon as i have got to the stage now with 9189 when i have to spend some $$$$$$$$$. the front end kit being one of those items. i was able to source lower ball joints in the usa for $100 and in uk for around £53. time i have added tax and post then im out of pocket if i dont buy from you.i thought the a arm bushings are expensive from all dealers at around $50 each, the 308 ones are less than half that,and available in two compounds, do you happen to know if they are the same and will fit. i have found the clutch slave to be the same as the alfa gtv unit and i can get these quite cheap, around £30.not had much luck with anything else. i need to replace my calipers as it will be cheaper to do so with new alloy units from the states. any idear why these are not available to use in germany, cant see it being from a safety point as im sure the new calipers will be more efficiant than the oem`s

I have friend of mine that used to work for Detomaso in Modena
and ferrari,he has told me a lot of the parts with Ferrari Maserati and even lamborghini are compatible.
He works for Ferrari Australia now.
As Roland said not all parts are the same but there are a few,
e.g. A frame bushes Maserati Bora, Ferrari 308.

PS As Roland said you get his expertise when buying products from him.

Be sure and discuss your needs with the US vendors. I'm sure they'll work with you on pricing and shipping considering your circumstances.

Kirk Evans comes to mind when it comes to body parts. For everything else, Dennis Quella (Pantera Performance Center ) and PIM (the sponsor of this BB board) come to mind.
