I've seen it where the shipping was 5x the cost of the item - LOL.

What @riri86 said is right - email them and let them give you a shipping quote.

I ordered stuff from Jon Motoring the site you gave me, thanks for the reference! Just hope the stuff fits as planned...

It's been a while since I posted.

I have been enjoying the car a lot... especially after installing these bad boys







They right when you say you get what you pay for! This kit is amazing. Unfortunately the front doesn't go down as much as I was hoping for. In the picture above the fronts are maxed out.

The ride is better than stock. At the moment the front is set to the softest and the rears are half way to hard (5 clicks).

The only issue with the install was that the rear shock mountings had to be drilled. It seems like the Bilstein rear shock rod is thicker than the stock one.

Looks very good!

This past weekend I had my TRD quick shift kit installed. Made a before and after video to show how much the throw has changed.

The gears feel very direct now. There is no missing a gear! I'm amazed at how short the throw is now.

Only thing is that there is a rattle from my gear knob after 5000rpm. Sounds like something is loose. Installed my stock gear knob back and it's fine.

I almost bought a TRD "quickshifter" too - glad I did the bushings instead.

Loose sound could be a loose nut - I read about one of the other guys on the forum finding one after his bolt fell out. He replaced with lock-tight and all good.

Yeah I saw that thread now as well, need to take it back to get it checked out... The only good thing about that noise, is that it's another way to tell me when to shift a gear

These past two weeks have been busy at work, however I received more goodies from ft86speedfactory...



I was a bit skeptical to install the camber plates as I never wanted to ruin the ride of the car since it's my daily. Installed the Velox camber plates and I honestly cannot feel the difference compared to the stock mounts.

The whiteline positive traction kit and shifter kit was also done. Car feels lovely during launch. I don't get that rear banging/shuddering when you launch the car now. The back feel really stable now.

There was a gymkhana this pass weekend, first time I took part in one. I must say I never expected this ...



Here are some more pics... ohh and I installed a set of 18 ' Work Emotion CR
