Searching for lowered sport springs in europe....

70SSRS350 · 11-14-2011, 06:34:43 AM

Hi european bros!
I'thinking about changing my front springs with something harderd and lower.
I see that summitracing and jegs sell eibach sport springs for second gen.
From that I know these springs are made in europe... or at least eibach is an european company.... So I have an idea to save a little money.

It's possible to buy these springs directly here in europe without pay for shipping and taxes from usa?

If not, here in europe there are many others that sells sport springs (H&R, Jamex, Weitec, KW), maybe someone know about european springs for 2nd gen?

Thank you for any info/help.

Thanks, I've talk with them, but they ask me a funny price....
To buy these springs here in europe they ask me about 3 times the price in the Usa. And many week from the order to wait.

My opinion is that these springs are manufactured in the Usa:
eibach europe buy these from eibach Usa (or another spring-firm that make it for eibach), import these and sell to me with some big gain.....
Maybe these people don't know about summit, jegs, ebay, or world e-commerce.....
No thanks!

Buy them in the USA the guys over here wants to make big bucks

I purchase everything in the states and even with taxes and shipping it still is cheaper then to buy it directly over here.
For example Bilstein shocks cost me about 75,- euro imported from the states and they are about 115,- euro over here.

Right now I`m rebuilding the engine of my Toyota Supra (sorry) and the prices for those parts are really ridiculous.
I bought a complete Sachs clutch kit for 100,- euro while the vendors over here want 300,- for the exact same kit and that`s with 35% discount already off.
So do the math and buy in the States

Also in Italy taxes for goods from USA are about 30% (21% + 10% extra europe). In the past I've imported some parts from summit or jegs, npd, no problem.
By the way, the shipping cost is big money (but nothing dramatic).
But it is nothing compare with the price that they ask me for 2 springs!

With the same money I can buy 2 PAIR of these springs in usa, with shipping and taxes, shipped to my door in 3 days with fast ups.
