sounds about right................I had 4 balljoints shipped at a cost of $45 US....................all depends on how quickly you want them.

Add up the price of buying/conversion and shipping and ring CBB. There's are so good that when a customer had them x-rayed by BHP they were as good if not better than unmodified ones...

They're around $580 here. How much from the US?

When I bought mine in they ended up costing me $540 and I think that was air freight, back about 2 years ago when the $ was bad. Shop around a bit and organise your own shipping. Also have them sent as "parts for 63 vw" or something along those lines as you can get slugged 3% or 15% duty depending on what the sender puts here.

Dont forget that dropped spindles kick your wheel track outwards by 1/2 inch per side.

179 US for the spindles and 106US shipping. Got them within 3 days.....No duty or tax, I suppose I was lucky in this case.

The dollar from memory was good then as well, cause I swooped on heaps of stuff from the states then...

N!
