From Jam-Sport Northampton I bought a "Front Big Brakes Kit" which was marketed as being purpose-made for my particular road car.
For a start it took several days more than promised, to arrive.
I had specifically requested that Jam-Sport leave the part numbers on the components' boxes as I explained I wanted to be able to order service parts in the future, not necessarily from Jam-Sport - for example - what if they stopped trading?
When the kit arrived, several days late, the brake disc boxes had their part numbers torn off.
When you unpack the discs it's obvious why - these discs were never made to fit my car. They are off a different car and have been re-drilled very poorly to a new stud pattern for my car. Some of the new holes - are oval!! There was also no provision to secure the discs onto the hubs of my car. It took my expert race and rally mechanic 4 hours to fit this brake kit due to these problems with the discs.
The braided brake hoses supplied were not long enough with the suspension on full droop, so my mechanic made me up some new hoses at an extra cost of £115.
The brake pads supplied are only 12mm thick so they do not last very long.
The brake pads still had part numbers on their boxes as requested.
Recently I needed to order new pads.
So I ordered new pads from the part numbers on the boxes - from a proper Motorsport supplier, not Jam-Sport. To my shock and anger, when the new pads arrived - they do not fit in the calipers at all!
It turns out that Jam-Sport have machined the pads down considerably, to a totally different footprint! The pads I had ordered could not be used.
Basically I will NEVER again buy anything from Jam-Sport Northampton.
if they GAVE me something I would not accept it!
