the PVD kit is the same as the Mathjissen Technics kit, but with a premium...
Given the current conversion rate, depending on costs of postage, it may well be cheaper to 'import' the kit direct from MJ Technics in the netherlands...

PVD take months to deliver mate.
Is it tru that a rear disc conversion brings ur wheels in a coupla mm?
I could really do with mine being taken in about 4 or 5mm.
