Where to buy Big Heavy stuff?

[chris68coupe]

I need some rear suspension Leaf springs and shocks etc.

Where is the best place to get these items bearing in mind size and weight?

Place in Essex. Under £400 a pair, and also other fixing bits available.

Thanks for the link. However, I thought I recognised the name so searched MOCGB and they do not have a good reputation. I was thinking more Rockauto or would the shipping be too expensive?

You could try Rockauto, larger items and heavy does really bump up the price, they work out shipping before paying, so you could experiment.

Sarah wanted a new pasenger floor for the camaro, it was cheap enough, abut at 1.5m x 0.5m the size really beefed up the price, tihnk it was like £500 shipping.

That's what I thought, some of the smaller dealers have most of the bits I need but some have been out of stock on others. At a push I could collect from one dealer which is about 2 to 3 hours away.
