Eibach springs

[zach]

Got a quote from UK for Eibach Pro springs £230.23 delivered (4-6 working days). There shouldn't be any GST or other taxes, right?

Seems like a good price to me, about AU$350 compared to local price of $600 or $950 installed.

I'm going to ring around but approx how much should installation cost? Need to allow for 2 alignments as well.

Anyone recommend a place in Melbourne?

Cheers

Customs don't generally collect GST or taxes unless the amount to be collected is $100 or greater which means that the value of the goods has to be Aus$1000.00 or greater. That doesn't mean that they can't or that GST is not payable it just means that it's unlikely to happen. They say the admin costs outweigh the collection amount if it's less than $100.

You may want to get a hold of graybags as I think he got a cheaper quote from somewhere in Europe. Anyway, if a group buy is a possibility I'd be in.

I'd be interested too.
They only problem with a group buy puts the value up and into customs attention doesn't it?

Yes it would but discounts in item cost, freight and possibly installation if somebody did several cars may outweigh additional cots of GST. Somebody would need to do the maths.

I've PMd Graybags to see what he was quoted.

At very least if we round up 3-5 cars we could save on installation even if springs are bought separately.

Any definites?

This is the reply I received for Pro-Kit E10-79-004-04-22
"We would like to quote you those springs for 159,00 Euro + 49,00 Euro shipping.
Yes, those springs are suitable for your car. It’s a Variant, right? (Wagon)"

=$250aud + $77aud
"Dear Graham,

the price is for air shipping but it’s not an express service
Deutsche Post is collecting all shipment to Australia and then sent out the airplane.
Express shipments get flight on the same day.

Let work something out if you got more guys who are interested in."



I haven't inquired about fitting yet.
