I posted a screen shot of Land Rover parts from the dealer, with shipping for less than you are showing for all genuine parts from the U.K. And the mix of genuine and aftermarket parts from lucky8 was cheaper than that.

You should probably re-read above. You missed afew things Im sure you can save some coin buying a mix of genuine and aftermarket parts (or all aftermarket for that matter). But you only get what you pay for.... This thread highlights the cost savings of buying Genuine rotors and pads. Not a mix of aftermarket rubbish sold domestically. Check out the carts above. All parts listed in carts are genuine only.

If you can buy top of the line parts and save $$ then why the hell pass it up for rubbish?

No, you're not getting it. I'm the one that posted the lowest price on the genuine parts. So basically everything you've said is wrong.

You're right. We've been trying to fix stupid this whole time. But you cannot read, it seems.

$634 (the price you show for all genuine parts, not the britpart parts that you actually bought) is more than that $603 that I posted from a dealership in the USA. How is that saving money?

This has no bearing on the topic at hand and I'm not trying to hijack a thread over a stupid observation but....

...every time I read the title to this thread I think 'Jimmy Crack Corn and I Don't Care'.

is it just me???

In Michigan, I'd have to pay sales tax on that purchase, even though made online, since there are LR dealerships located here. So, essentially...you'd have to add $36.40 to your total...bringing it to $639.95.

Just making an observation...no dog in this bickering...and yes..."Jimmy cracked corn and I don't care".

Continue on...lol.
