Bilstein / Koni / Edelbrock shocks from USA

Yes it’s crazy, I am going to be getting some Moog suspension stuff sent over from the USA for the explorer, Lower control arm ball joints and new upper control arms with greaseable ball joints
It will coast about $580 including shipping

To buy hear would be $800 minimum and that would be the OEM stuff witch is nowhere near as good.

The Edelbrock are not a bad shock apparently.

GST on the way in. Check with customs to make sure there are no other duties applicable.

If they're manufactured in the USA, the Free Trade Agreement kicks in - you only pay GST if it's over $1000 AUD, and there's no 5% or 10% customs duty payable anymore. The forms for anything over this amount are now a lot simpler - before you almost HAD to use a Customs Broker, now it's a 10 minute job to fill out paperwork and fax it off with a coversheet with your credit card details shoud it be over $1000. If it's under, more often than not they just land on your doorstep. I import stuff all the time, and since the FTA and the new customs system that went in a few months ago, it's a piece of cake.

Bit wary of shocks though - at that price they become a throwaway item in the event of a warranty claim. Might be worth looking into myself though for the Paj!

I've just ordered some parts for the Jackaroo from the US.

Local price for O2 sensor $600 ex GST from Holden

US price for Denso OEM part $USD48

So I ordered that and a bunch of other stuff

Can you let me know how you go...?
As I have a Jackaroo and am looking for some items myself, or if you have a web link to someone would be a big help also.

Thx Jon
