Came out to just shy of $300 CAD (280 or 290, can't remember), which I didn't hesitate with, since it's the cheapest option still. We'll see what kind of import duty I get hit with though. They were shipped today, so I hope to have them in 2 weeks or less.

Edit: whoops, misread your post. Shipping was 35ish. Prices are in USD, so prepare yourself for the exchange rate

IMO, don't bother with the whiteline comp C's. There were tons of issues with the bearings failing early, even after a few revisions. Whiteline eventually stopped listing them as a part for the FRS/BRZ/GT86. They were just an off the shelf WRX part that doesn't have issues in the WRX chassis, but something about our geometry or spring seat causes them to fail fast.

I had them on for a week and they honestly felt like any other solid top mount, no extra squeaks. A week after they installed them i got access to the Mooresport front and rear plates for dirt cheap so i picked those up and installed them instead. They felt exactly the same and honestly three months later (now) I'm having a bunch of problems with the mooresports.

My friend will be using the Projects Silvers next spring when he takes his car out of storage, so he will test them in long term.

Biggest advice I can give you is load up Loctite on all of the strut top studs as they come loose for some reason... I'm having the same problem with the mooresports even though i torqued them to spec!

I go to a place called Altech, they do an extremely good job for about $70 cash. I used to have a friend at factory tire but he moved to a new shop that doesn't do alignments

Not looking forward to them raising the car, as I'm on springs... Maybe I won't bother installing them then

I think Dezoris mentioned about rust issues with Whiteline camber bolts on one of his YouTube videos.

I'm using factory crash bolts and have -1.1/-1.2 camber on the front. The owner / Toyota master tech at Bullock City took the time one morning to get me that, after I changed my suspension (changed springs with different rates, different shocks, same drop).

I tried two other shops and they could only get me -0.7/-0.8 and one shop even argued with me on why they aren't cam bolts like the Impreza ones, and how the factory crash bolts will drift easily (hasn't had that happened as verified by Bullock City on a follow-up alignment visit months later).
