Canadian $$$

Damn!

As guessed, I live in Canada (toronto). Performance parts up here are VERY expensive. You guys talk about $99 dollar rear control arms. Up here, that translates to $260 plus tax ($300!!!!)
WTF, these bastards are making a killing since there are only a handfull of performance shops in the greater Toronto area. Maybe I should look into ordering from the Buffalo.

260? You are on the wrong side of the pond...

Might be able to come stateside, PAY someone to do the work, and maybe save a buck in the process. LOL.

Find a better place to shop if you're getting charged CDN260 for a USD99 part.

Just curious, can you order parts off the internet (jegs, summit, etc.) up there? Looks like that would be the cheapest if it's possible.

At least we can legally use the parts we can't afford to install.
