Importing parts from Japan

Post by chuster »

Hey all

My friend told me about this guy who lives in Japan and can get pretty much anything. He keeps you updated along the way with emails and charges lower commission compared to places like nengun(from what ive seen). Ive ordered a set of coilovers and a catch can through him and theyre on their way here with prices for the coilovers below

Cusco Zero1 coilovers: 117,600 yen
Bank fee: 630 yen
Commission: 10500 yen
Shipping: 13750 yen

Lemme know what you guys think compared to buying off other places. If you want to check it out, his site is below

Good site, but is never actually accurate. Call your bank for accurate conversion rates.
