buy eibach pro kit overseas?

[Rufus]

Is it cheaper to purchase these kits overseas than here?
There are some uk sites that offer them for about $300 AUD. I have read that some people have been quoted 500-600 just for the springs.

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks

biggest problem ex UK is the freight costs which are around 100 pounds = around $210. Add that to your spring purchase and your landed cost is not much cheaper.

Try www.tirerack.com ex USA - their prices are ok and freight is marginally cheaper

at least locally you have no delivery risks or warranty issues

if you are keen to save a few $, get in with a mate and share the freight costs ex USA, and wait for the A$ to get a bit stronger as well

ah, ok. I've shipped products from the uk before but didn't think it would cost that much. Thanks Gareth

Ive enquired about some stuff off tirerack.com and their freight prices were not cheap. Prices on parts were not bad at all, was basically looking at 4 koni yellow struts, which worked out to be 570 U.S for them, but then postage was going to be another 480 U.S. By the time you pay the conversion rate, they were way cheaper buying them in Aus anyway. Just my experience, there may be cheaper ones out there

I got some eibach springs shipped here by andrew @ redline-motorworks.com last week, was about 120USD for shipping, and 215 for the springs. if you buy a bit he'll even write down the value for the items so you dont ahve to pay import duty.. flick him a email and he'll sort you out
