Like i always say biggest issue is getting into country then many ways to title and register
Been importing parts for almost 20yrs so seen and heard all kinds of stories..

As far as KYB i am not hardcore about getting exact same insert and besides it will be
overpriced anyway. I will get around to looking into but priority is building car(s) first.
I am sure KYB japan has a similar part for cheaper than rebranded TRD stuff. I have
Superstrut,strut and mr2 TRD coilovers all in need of inserts so will need my attention
just not right now

I just sent my last mr2 parts car (#7) to scrap and now room for celica and will be
stripping down this week. Progress on one car at least..


ANY COMMENTS ON IMPORTING PLEASE FIND APPROPRIATE THREAD THRU SEARCH ..

I've searched, don't worry and I wasn't trying to hijack your thread, my bad wink.gif

It sounded like you had a great steal of the set for only 38 till I saw how much you paid for shipping, ouch! At least they will look good though and I will be interested in seeing how your car turns out, keep it up man.
