Modern Performance / MPx

IMHO, these are probably one of the more under rated vendors here;

They sell great parts - some of which they manufacture, and they seem to be top notch on communication.
(IMHO, of the parts that they do manufacture - those are the best variants of said part available in the aftermarket)

I haven't bought too much directly from them, but have several of their parts, and my brother (who owns a Caliber SRT4) has bought several parts from them.

I highly suggest you consider them for any purchases ~ I cannot recall any negative experiences posted here from their customers.

This man speaks the truth!

I could really do without all the SRT Fan Bois/Cobalt trolls on their FB page but other than that have nothing bad to say about them at all. Great customer service and for the most part great products. A+ to Cory & team!

so far so good

so far i've ordered k&n intake, forge bpv, catch can, and full exhaust with catted dp. it's been 3 weeks and haven't seen the first 3. ordered the exhaust a week later and it went from Houston to Toronto in 2 days(go figure). They used usps for the first 3 and puro for the exhaust so that may be why. Mixed feelings so far on delivery but the exhaust i got was good quality. So for products I'll say there good.

You cannot hold MPx responsible for broker/duties hold up's;

USPS is the cheapest (no brokerage fee) - but is totally the responsibility of the third party which Canada post uses to do paperwork on the shipment.

From my experience, USPS is often painfully slow - but by far the cheapest.

The whole irony, is that generally hte package is at the border with in two days tops... the hold up then ist 100% a result of the Canadian side of things.

the best/quickest, is to find a receiver state-side that can accept the package for you, then drive across the border, pick up the package yourself, then drive it over the border yourself.

you probably have a company which you can deal with (or you should be able to arrange it being dropped off at a UPS store/depot);
I use these guys: LINK

They have Eibach springs for $199. Everywhere else they want $214. They're not TOO greedy.

Modern Performance has excellent customer service and pricing. I've ordered quite a few things from them and only have had one issue. That issue was they sent me the wrong colored headlights (chrome instead of black.) I emailed them about it, and within a few hours I received a reply with 2-day shipping tracking information for the correct lights and a return label for the incorrect ones. They already had the correct lights on the way to me. Like I said, excellent customer service for sure.
