Actually I can get them for around £1130 from the UK, so closer to AUD$2300. The shipping is relatively cheap though, it's the import duty and tax that is the killer.

Oh and I wouldn't bother upgrading tbars.... just buy the ground control rear coilover conversion. No indexing headaches and they are pretty cheap.

Wow, that's a huge difference! Looks like a deal at that price...

If you can get the total shipment value to < AUD$1000 including shipping, then you don't pay tax.

Maybe you can get the shipment split into a few smaller shipments to save a bit on this?

Also, if the shipment is regular mail rather than a courier, you probably won't be assessed anything extra, customs just don't bother -- I've certainly found this to be the case with shipments from the US.
