So I have been callign around trying to find Tein CS coilovers for a first gen GS in Toronto and I've been quoted as follows...

Kensai Racing - $2200
JRP - $2400
Exotic Motoring - $2052

Compared to U.S. prices after the conversion rate and shipping cost they cost about $200-$600 more up here in Canada... So is it worth the hastle?

Get them up here , shipping and them brokerages and taxes will make it alot more expensive unless you are personally buying them.

surprising that Exotic is cheaper as Alex (exotic) buys them from Alan (kensai)
I would also ask how much each of them want to install them also.
