wtf kinda car do you drive meng?

more like $10 gas and NOT claiming them at the border

and depending how much they cost...yes its worth it

ive done this with my Tein SS (saved me about $400)

Did it with almost all my car audio equipment (saved about $1000)

etc, etc.

I even did it for my mcgards because noone here would sell the black spline drives for under $200 and I got them for $65 from a US store

i thought he would go to buffalo so i figured 8 hr trip.

I would have to see where the shop is first, then decide if it is worth the 3 hour trip plus waiting time at custom and whatnot.

But so far, April 22nd is open for me.

I've ordered from them .. the shipping I forget how much it was but at one time they were only shipping UPS ... so UPS was raping on the Handling charges and customs fees.

I believe you can now request a different shipper

alright guys, seems like we have the wheels in motions with this plan. I'll start researching on reputable tire shops that are close to the boarder in buffalo, feel free to do the same and hopefully we can come to some sort of agreement with one of the shops for a big group discount since we will all be buying at the same time!
