Design 911 Feedback

[NAS]

Am thinking about buying some suspension bits from Design 911, as their prices are really rather good.

Can anybody tell me if they're a good supplier or not? Have you been happy with their service?

Thanks in advance for your replies!

service is fine, a lot of stuff is not stocked so they are just a middle man and the parts may come direct and take time.

Best to pick up the phone and ask if the items you want are in stock or on lead times.

D911, service is ok.
Surprisingly you may save yourself alot of £ buy going direct to an OPC. Both will discount if you are a member of the UK Porsche club - 5% from memory with design911, OPC poss more.

This.

I ordered a seat mount online and when I chased it up a couple of weeks later (I'd not been in a rush until then as I'd not settled on a seat anyway) they told me there was no stock and they'd let me know when they had an eta ! That was a bit annoying. Eventually arrived two months after ordering.

So yes, give them a call if you need it quickly.

Thank for your replies!

I will give them a ring.

I posted something negative and it got deleted for breach of rules so be aware that when requesting feedback on a company it can only be positive or neutral.

I have bought quite a few bits and bobs over the years without any issues

Same & they've price matched on occasion as well. No complaints from me.

Thanks everybody!

Just be aware that all of their prices are ex.VAT which is annoying when the price jumps by 20% when adding to the basket.

If you are local, and order over £200 you can get a bit of money off as they offer free delivery. In other words, save them the delivery cost and get some of the benefit, although it's not a huge amount off.

OPC Wilmslow gave me - 10% without asking.

I think any car over 15y would entitle you to this discount

2 out of the 4 orders I've placed with them have had issues with availability and they couldn't be bothered to let me know. I had to chase them and cancelled both. Not sure I'll be giving them a 5th order in a hurry
