Can I ask how much they would have set you back by the time you get them? i.e freight cost etc... I can get them from Repco for approx $1500, so am wondering if buying from Japan would be worth it...

Fulcrum will fit them for you, they even sell them too so should know what they're doing!

cheers

well they are about 1050 plus around a max of 250 for freight. So I am not sure if you would think 200 bucks is worth it. I have not actually paid for them yet so would you be able to get them for me too for 1500 hundred?

Might be worth getting from Japan.... The $200 saved would go close to covering the cost of installation I would think.

My Repco price is nothing tricky! They price them at $1800 something, and I got a Repco 20% discount voucher with my new rego label from QLD transport. It's just a promo thing that they are obviously doing and is valid for 12 months. It's only valid for one use. If your rego is due soon, fair chance you'll get the same...

I was in Japan about 3 months ago, and almost bought a set of Tein SS with the upper mounts. The price was ¥ 86614, or AU$915. But they wouldn't ship to Australia, and the wait was over a week, so I couldn't pick them up :(
