I'm about to order parts for my suspension/brakes. (Yes, I'm really doing it after years of waiting! )

I'll need 4 springs, 4 shocks, swaybars, full bushings (both front and rear are dry and cracked) but just normal bushing (after talking to few people, it's not worth to get full polyuretane for my car), brake lines (front and rear), brake master cylinder and front brake disk.

Last time I ordered from FCgroton, price were good, but delivery cost and border fees where just plain crazy, (added almost 50% of the price). Anyone knows a way to avoid such ridiculously high cost?

4 shocks: Bilstein HD
4 spring: could be IPD spring, but still not sure about that
Antisway bars: IPD I guess...
Bushings: there's probably 30 differents kind of bushing, how do I know which one I need. Didn't see a "whole kit" anywhere.
Front brake disk: I want to be able to use my winter steelies, so I won't get bigger ones. Any brand will do or some will give some improvment? Is it worth to get crossdrilled disk?
Brake lines: steel hoses are about twice the price of the normal one, but overall, that would be about 40-50 bucks more. Is it worth it?
Brake Master Cylinder: any brand will do? (there 2 or 3 different ones on groton or IPD)

Any comments on the parts or ideas where would be the best place to get that Or any trick to avoid part of the shipping/toll fees? (I know, I'm greedy, but I'm sure I have better way to spend 500$ that shipping fees and taxes)

Or if anyone already have some decent stuff that they don't use.

I already have some other stuff on its way from Europe.

Ask FCP to ship USPS. You pay $5 brokerage fee and GST. Can't beat it...

That's what I asked the last time. Standard USPS. I received it by DHLexpress with a nice bill!

They don't even offer DHL for Canadian customers. I've ordered from them at least 6 times and never has it come anything but through the post office. Yeah, it's SLOW and all, but it's much cheaper.

They also put about 1/4 the value of the package on the customs forms, saving you a bit in GST.

I have the box and the paper right there: It says DHL Canada.

At least, they put half of the value, but it's not your quarter.

I ordered some lifters for my 850 a few weeks back. They were 200USD They shipped them USPS without me asking, AND only put a value of 20 dollars on them. I paid nothing when they showed up.

They didn't like me and decided to screw me up?

How do I know if I have bendix or girling calipers?

It'll say on the caliper, somewhere. Usually.
