Like Maxiboy says, Catcams who have a website at www.catcams.be or piper cams. I wouldn't touch Kent cams. ;)
Usually you need to get the cams and the verniers (to set the cam properly). You don't need the valve springs, etc as usually OEM are fine unless you get some drastic profile cam in there. :)
The ECU wouldn't need touching for them to work. But it would be good to have it chipped in the future to take "full" advantage of the mods.
Cheers.

i have a hillpower stage 2 chip to take the cams if you do get some :D
Catcams cams are £450, and pulleys £210 (all in).
Best getting a remap rather than a generic chip.
in my experience......better off gettin a on old kippers can n using that as the chip than a hill power chip too.

Is that just for the parts or is that a fitted price?

You think thats bad, my full cam/valve train assembly is costing me circa £1500+...this is cams, pulleys, followers, shims, Ti retainers, springs, and valves.
Power is expensive!
hydraulic or mechanical are you going stan
mechanical. these are £26 EACH retail from Catcams :shock: Thats not including shims either!
