Well after finding out the prices of the spares from Japan I look forward to comparing the prices with the UK shops that are starting to stock them :roll:
Yes you need to add VAT, import duty and carriage costs to the price but even with these the prices are suprisingly cheap for a country that I had always been told was very expensive for everything. How about £1.84 for a set of front hubs, steering knuckles and the spacers? Or £1.50 for a pair of suspension arms, 1 front and 1 rear? A set of CVD driveshafts around £12.
Don't forget the shop is making it's profit on these items in one of the most expensive countries in the world to live in, these are not cost prices but retail.
Anybody happen to know the prices of these items in the UK out of interest?
