Who else is having problems finding parts in Australia?
I have to order the things that I want from the US
I had to get my Tanabe springs from USA for US$160.00. Thats about AU$230.00. It cost me about AU$70.00 to get them at my door.
No one in Aust had anything for the euro. Same old story, We can order them in for you. It will only take about 4 ~ 6 weeks. I don't think so. The prices I have got for Eibach's and Tanabe's off various places around Aust are all around AU$600.00. Not including freight.
I only paid $300.00 and they were here in less than a week.
I will also order my stereo equipment from the States when it is time. I will save about 1/3 to 1/2 off Australian prices. Things like JL 13W7 subs are about AU$1500.00 here and about US$500.00, or AU$700.00. I know transport for these doesn't cost AU$800.00 so you have to win.
-REMEMBER-
You don't pay any import taxes and duties on stuff under US$200.00 when it comes in the country, so break up your order if you have to. That was a nice tip from a friend who buy's crap off eBAY. He also said if it is more than US$200.00, get them to write in it "returning for repairs" or something along those lines.
