Usatoaus will ship for $150 (once you get it shipped to them), but prepared to wait 3 months to get them.

A lowered car impacts on drivability i.e. negotiating all those traffic calming features on roads and in probably every car park in the Southern Hemisphere.

You could also save another US$50 if you have a NA by deleting the supplied NB tophats and re-using the ones you have. :wink:
(would work for a NB too I suppose).

Better off keeping the nb top hats. Na top hats would effectively increase the ride height as the springs would be to suit the top hat.

Once you have gone over $1000 you have duty +GST, say 17% or about $200

Tein Super Street are a good compromise.

You only pay duty and gst for GOODS over 1000. Freight is not goods.

Wow, they look really promising!
Hopefully they actually perform as well as they sound.
