Isn't EBC a British company? It seems weird that you can't find any there.

The EBC website shows 4 different distributors in the UK.
www.brakes4u.co.uk
www.ebcbrakesdirect.com - has them for 51.70
www.motechdirect.co.uk
www.powerstop.co.uk - If you need help finding the product your require, please call Nick on 01608 646837.

The part number for the for the front is GD552. There doesn't appear to be a rear fitment.

That is pretty crappy. It would seem that any of those suppliers would be willing to work with you to get that specific part. Can't be that big of a deal to add it to their normal order. What's the company here that has them?

I'll call anyone for you Oakley. Just give me the phone number and I will call to ask them anything. Hell my phone has so many roll over mintues now it is crazy. So it is no cost to me. Just let me know. Happy to help.

Will

Ok you won't belive this. I called them and this rep. answered ans she said that they don't ship to the UK because it is a perfomance part and EBC will not allow it. She also said that the part would have to come from EBC themselves anyways and the shipping to the US alone would take 10-15 days. And to top it all off the woman says that the shipping to the UK would cost something like $200. WOW! That sounds totally crazy. I would say maybe try to get EBC's number and I could call them and see what they say. And if they will not ship to the UK then maybe I could help you out and get them shipped to my house and then ship them to you in the UK. Is that crazy or what though.........it's a performance part so don't let the people in Europe get it. crazy I tell ya.

Performance my arse. Grooves are for looks.

If you've bought the discs from the same supplier, maybe they'll help you out in getting a set for the ti?
