Is this UK site safe to buy Galfer brakes?Please help
 
1 Attachment(s)
Good evening from Greece.Since most of your great SV rider's company are from UK you can help me ou with this one.I am about to improve my curvy's braking performance(galfer wave rotors,4 piston calipers).After some searching I was about to order some stuff from this site http://www.calsport.co.uk/


The thing is that when I checked the parts number with catalog from galferusa http://www.galferusa.com/html/motorsports.html#catalog
I found out there are different part numbers!
For example:the Galfer - Front Wave Disc Only, For: 2003 SUZUKI SV 650 / S (K3) is shown to have part number DC317W when in the page 30 of the catalog is DF317
Also the Galfer - Rear Wave Disc Only, For: 1999 SUZUKI SV 650 / S (X-K2) is
shown to have part number DF307W when in the page 30 of the catalog is DF307
Moreover the Galfer - Rear Pads, For: 1999 SUZUKI SV 650 / S (X-K2) is
shown to have part number FD111-G1651 when in the page 30 of the catalog is FD111
Finally theGalfer - Front Pads (Each), For: 2003 SUZUKI SV 1000 / S (K3) is shown to have part number FD107-G1375 when in the page 30 of the catalog is FD107

I mailed galferusa and here is THEIR ANSWER:
We are NOT familiar with that dealer BUT the part numbers are correct.
DF307W or DF307 is the same....
it all looks ok.
Sandro

Has anyone of you ever ordered stuff from http://www.calsport.co.uk/ ?
I would aprecciate your help since it would be a pity to order wrong things...I attach a snapshot of my shopping cart.
Sorry for the long post
Cheers!

You mean galferusa?They can but it is not worth it for the following reasons:
*Items outside Europe pay a penalty at the customs
*With the current euro-pound equivalence it is much cheaper to shop from UK.
Does anyone happen to know any reliable Galfer dealer in the UK?

I've not bought anything from them personally (calsport), but i have heard good reports from a couple of people who have used them for exhausts for their fazers.

I bought my Remus from Calsport, got it inside 24 hours of paying.

I have not heard a bad word about them to be honest.
