    Yeah, so with the tune and labor, around 3k. it is more expensive through APR direct, but not a huge difference...

    APR aus prices are $2995 plus another $195 for the FPR and plus labour so would be quite exxy. Whereas FPR from ECS is under $50 USD plus shipping.

    Of course we'll have to add import taxes on top of it all but would still be much cheaper than local. However only difference is you get warranty if bought locally but nearly $800 more??? Hmmm. I would go for local in a heart beat if it was maybe $3000 including labour and FPR. *Sigh* Unfortunately everything's more expensive here in Oz even if its more or less the same product from overseas. Oh well unless APR Aust can offer me a deal or something, then I'll have to reconsider. They've got a sale on atm but not for polo stuff and even if it includes it, 5% off isn't much to be honest.

    Think there could be a discount with a group buy? Worth someone asking?

    I would get the RP turbo's K04 and probably a Kinetic manifold, only about $1000 for both

    Courtney did a group buy a little while ago for these

    Guys, Just try to keep in mind that if you keep under the 1000 dollar figure no extra tax and with shipping so cheep, order in one or several orders, its cheaper, I do know as esc would not split my last order and 1400 dollars cost me 400 more in tax, where as if I would have done in three orders it would have only cost me an additional 50 bucks shipping.

    Just be smart about what you order, and keep in mind that if something is a back/order item or delayed you might not get as strong of an exchange rate.

    My front rotors and calipers are on order but they wont ship until mid Oct. Great rate now but who knows is 30 days and they don't charge your CC until the order is filled

    Good luck for everyone that is buying from overseas.

    Cheers ssman

    Doesn't matter since you have adjustments to align them.
