That seems really high.... I only paid around $25 to $35 USD to get my kafer cup brace shipped over from Germany... How heavy are the struts?

UPS = $306
USPS = $263

£440 = US$834.48 (struts)
£120 = US$227.58 (shipping)
£560 = US$1062.06 (total)

The MaXX struts from Topline Parts, with shipping, are less than $500 ;)

60 pounds -- weight, not price -- I didn't realiize that. Hmmm.

I'm still shocked -- no intentions of turning this into a punfest. Really, I got a quote of shippimg a whole car that was somewhere in the US$1000-$1100 range about a year ago. One-fourth of the price for less than one-thirtieth of a car. Decisions, decisions.

If it stops raining tomorrow, I'll take my new wheels outside and do some more measuring, and some more visualizing.

It don't come easy ... y'know it don't come easy Not now, Ringo ...
