I'm thinking about a set of drop springs (probably 1") for my GTA, as well as the customary SFCs, wonderbar, and STB. Where do you guys buy this stuff from? I know the wonderbar comes from some Camaros, but what about the other stuff? What sort of price ranges should I expect? Things like this, is this a good deal?

Thanks guys.

 

Hey that sounds like a good deal...

i've got some kyb shocks and strust coming in a week via karbelt fairly decent, <$175 for front and rear...

i think I deserve a smoother ride finally...

 

That's what I was thinking, but I won't buy without more research. Shipping could get scary too, especially if UPS gets their greedy hands on things.

 

For most things I purchase....I ususally do a power trip down to Summitt In Ohio and grab a bunch of stuff all at once. Even with exchange, gas and usually a 1 night stay over it is usually worth it.....

 

I've brought in lots of stuff from the US lately and even with the brokerage fees it's been cheaper than the prices I was getting from local sources.

The Crap Tyre performance catalogue might be worth a look - I've never used them but I think you pay first and they import etc. With them you'd at least have someone in Canada to go after if it f'ks up.

I've had no problems with the following: Spohn, Thunder Racing, Global West, SLP and Shox.com.

 

Most of the crappy tire stuff is all Keystone. Keystone is pretty expensive compared to most other places but you never know.

 

They have a performance catalogue with a lot of stuff in it - Eibach, Hooker etc. and various suspension manufacturers.

 

Here is a link for ya ..... it's out west ...but in Canada

Slade:

Is that $175 USD or CDN for all four corners.

 

A buddy at work mentioned "Northern Performance" in Hamilton, a place where he used to buy stuff for his Camaro. Anyone hear of it?

 

CDN

 

Really Slade? 175? I need 2 shocks for the rear..
Where did you get those for that price?
If you dont mind me asking

 

Ok exact prices...

I said $175 for front and rear oops, wasn't too specific.

So I just verified price,

For all 4 corners it will cost me $334 with tax.

The rears are $63 each and the fronts are $83 each.

GR-2's on the front, gas a-just ones in the back...

With exchange and such around $80 from the US for the fronts not to mention driving time, gas etc... if shipped tax and brokerage fees... not worth it to get from the states...

For me its a 10 min drive and my computer parts supplier is nearby so a quick swing in for car parts is always good.

They're from Karbelt.

He also cut me a deal for the gm blaster coil too when I wanted it, at the time like 40% cheaper than what performance improvements and even my normal parts store (brakes and miscellaneous) wanted to charge me for it... just $10 more than a stock coil... who could turn down a deal like that?
