Where do you guys get your parts from?

Post by gamble63 » Wed Oct 01, 2014 9:06 pm

Been looking round the net and think im missing something here,

Just trying to find a good supplier of general parts, suspension, brakes etc for Sj410.

Cant seem to find many which are helpful, i know for my hilux there is like roughtrax and landys there is rimmer bros. Is there a good one for Suzuki SJ

Am more than likely being blind

Cheers

This site is probably the best place for used parts, motor factors will supply quite a lot of new parts, Pebley Beach is pretty good for getting trickier stuff. Failing all that Suzuki UK!

Matey we're going to see on saturday will probably have some 2nd hand springs!!!
New springs are quite expensive, looking at £200+ per pair
