Does anyone know of any Canadian vendors that may have SPEC clutches? Im looking Canadian because I dont want to pay BS brokerage fees and dont have the time to clear customs myself(to avoid the brokerage charges).

get it shipped with USPS then seems to be way cheaper than UPS.

Yea, Ive heard USPS may take a little longer, but their fees are a lot more reasonable. Im starting to think with just the tax and exchange I may be better off just getting it locally. I was quoted $740 from a place here in Wpg, and around $580 plus shipping($60-80) from an american vendor.

Thanks a lot for the offer bud. I ended up just biting the bullet and ordered it thru Fast Toys here in Winnipeg though.

I had 3 options;

1) Order it straight from the states to here. With the exchange and shipping it would have cost just a tad over $800 canadian for it(that was without the brokerage as well).

2) Have it send to a very good friend of mine that moved to orlando and just get him to send it as a 'used gift'. When all was said and done, and provided I didnt get caught with the 'gift' idea it would have cost a little over $700 canadian. (I imagine sending it to menkes would be very similar in price, until you add the gas etc.).

3) The last option was getting it thru one of the 2 SPEC dealers in the city. The first one just seems to be some dude that sells parts or something?.. I called the number, and did a street view of the address and it came back to a house, not business. So I called Phil at Fast Toys and ordered it thru him. Cost me $835.

If anyone is getting rid of there factory contis or sport tires235 or 225-40r18 because there changing there setup let me know I'm soon in need of new tires and would prefer not to order them in or get taken by a local tire shop. If the price is right I'll consider them.

Edit. Ps Winnipeg And area is local.
