Trd coilovers are easy to rebuild as basically
it is a kyb insert inside that is why chose over Tein ,etc... Yes i will be using superstrut and every other bolt on clip. No didnt offically buy backseat. He wont budge under 300 and paid way less for last one. He might of pulled and put with my container -------------------- Old guy with the toys

man all this talk about importing and such yet sadly never any concrete info. I'm just chillin here in Japan with my BEAMS itching to go back to the states with no good leads on how to make it happen. I guess It is a little different bringing a running car back and not a clip or parts car >.<

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 ![]() 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. -------------------- -Dan

I love the 2 RHD cars idea. I had 2 before it was nice to have them both. I know I'll prob get flamed but I've searched and searched, and I thought you couldn't tow a car across the US/CAN border without customs paperwork.
