Bob Horner Posted October 22, 2014 Report Share Posted October 22, 2014 Just a quick post to say what a good experience dealing with TR Enterprises has been. I bought a lamp bar from them which didn't quite fit out of the box (primarily because my bumper support brackets were a little out of line). What impressed me was the genuine concern about it not fitting initially from everyone I spoke to and a proper investigation as to whether what I had was correctly made to the right dimensions. Not the usual - "well its your car mate, deal with it" sort of attitude that we often seem to get from suppliers. Also, following on from my brake upgrade thread elsewhere, I do like it when a supplier says, "you want the bog std stuff it works well and its surprisingly cheap" - so Ive bought their bog std discs. TR Enterprises also sell alfin type drums but said stick with the originals if you want to give it some hammer. Therefore they cheerfully missed out on a potential sale. Their comment was for road cars, alfins were ok but, if seriously pressing on, they would prefer actually having rear brakes to a saving in unsprung weight! I think there are possibly alfin drums that are up to it but the prices are sky high. Shame, I like shiny things. No connection, just felt motivated to express the warm feeling of not being taken for granted and/or fleeced. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
foster461 Posted October 22, 2014 Report Share Posted October 22, 2014 Thanks for the report Bob, bumper support brackets seem to be topical today. Re the brake drums, we had a great thread recently about useless upgrades (that many of us including me have btw) and I'm pretty sure that drilled and slotted rotors and finned drums made the list.

alan57 Posted October 22, 2014 Report Share Posted October 22, 2014 Not at all surprising with TRE - always top notch! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tr4Tony Posted October 22, 2014 Report Share Posted October 22, 2014 Hi Couldn't agree more. I've been a TR Enterprises customer for nearly 20 years now and I have never had anything other than top notch service from Steve and his team. Not only that but many will know the lengths that they go to in order to support their competition minded customers. Proper trusted advice too. Also worth noting that although they know their way round competition cars (and some !) I would say that at least half of their work and parts sold goes on road cars that never see a track or stage. I can count the places where I spend money and get good service on a few fingers of one hand, principally pointing at Somerset and Blidworth, and a few elsewhere where only one digit will suffice.
