Speak to nate on here. Click on new age auto parts and ask the question. He'll mark the value down for shipping so you'll pay less customs tax

New age Auto parts list them at £620 ($995usd) thats not including shipping or tax.
think I got a set of BR's for £680 including delivery...

The guy might be a top bloke but if he marks down the shipping and product value to save on customs and you have a hiccup who takes the shortfall? And it is illeagal too.

He gives a better price than on the website if you send him a PM! As for marking the valve down so you pay less import tax, yeah it's illegal and yeah you would take the hit for any losses but the pros out do the cons!

Not too sure about that...

PROS
£50 cheaper (maybe - depending on how much you suck up)
Hmm any other pro's??

CONS
Shipped internationally
You might not get your money back if it goes missing
You might have your item investigated and if found out your item be confiscated and payment lost
If there is a problem you have to send back internationally - more postage
Time zones different for placing orders and resolving any problems

There's always going to be pros and cons when buying from America regardless of what you buy. What you will find is that 90% of the things you'll want to buy for your will be cheaper INCLUDING SHIPPED AND CUSTOMS TAX. If your really bothered about things that are illegal then you should just pay over the odds for things

Cheers for letting me know about the shopping KGB, I think that what I paid was an ok price for an item bought from a company in the UK with none of the hassle of shipping from America, i'm not really too bothered about the legality of customs duty, I would be bothered if I lost out on ££ though if it went missing. So at the normal rate of shipping and import duty theres not much in it this time at least.

I will be doing a big bulk buy from one of the overseas suppliers soon and will be looking into it though.
