I think I've heard of a few people buying their stuff before and not heard any major problems.... Im sort of interested in the Samurai LSDs but also not at €650 each

I used that company once before. Quality was questionable. For only a bit more I could have got the same product custom made in the UK with guaranteed quality. Remember you will get hit by customs when the parts arrive.
For similar price you can get genuine new Calmini kit.
Twiss, what they call LSDs are actually auto lockers. At least their Vitara "LSDs" are lockers, and not the good type that you switch on or off, the type that auto lock. I wasted enough breath with that company trying to explain to them that LSD means "limited slip".

They list both LSDs and lockrite style 'difflocks' for SJs
still for the price of the LSD you might as well buy an air locker

| Ok Scittie, my discussion with them was over the Vitara lockers where I'm sure they were listing lockrite type diffs as LSDs. Either way, be weary of this company!

| That's the same company that do the 5.85 r&p gears for vitaras... I know someone on here tried them and didn't think the quality was great - anyone else tried them since?

not had anything from them but as they are in the eu then there should be no import duty, one of the benefits of the eu!

Well.... I guess that will offset the £27M per day we pay the EU 
Just because the company is in the EU, doesn't mean the part is manufactured in the EU

true but the import duty should not apply
when you export and import as much as I do from various countries it does make a difference
