Hope you didn't buy from Steve, at Serano's they have gone bust. I got done for just over 2k of goodies ( spindles, heads and crank). Luckily VISA
was able to recover the $$$ after about 60 days.

Yeah-just bought a High Torque starter motor from CIP1-arrived in 6 days and cost AU$294.00 with freight.Perhaps should have bought a spare when they
are so cheap.

Hey has anyone used other forms of getting parts back from the US? aside from FEDEX I mean?
I looked at a few parts from CIP1 and they wanted to charge almost as much as the bits in shipping!!

I'm about to order some Ball Joint ones & that sounds a bit cheaper even with Airmail.

I brought a LOT of BMW stuff in from the States in the last 12 months (full rebuild of an M5 engine....new shocks, etc) - and mostly just used USPS.
Most I ever paid on any shipment was about $80US for freight - but given that the prices were one fifth of what the local stealer wanted........
Don't forget to keep your orders under $1k or else you might be paying duty.
BTW - word on the street is high 90's next year.

No sympathy mate - I took the family (all 5 classed as adults) to the UK & Ireland in 2001 - when it was in the low 40's - and three bucks to the
pound. I paid Oz$90 for morning tea at one stop.

Thanks mate, thats who I was going to order them through but your shipping price seemed cheaper than what I could get off their website, I might go
through the samba add & see if there is any difference.
Thanks again

Greg is extremely helpful, i've just ordered my set of Dropped Spindles from him. Shipping was more expensive through the checkout on the parts site,
so i just emailed him. Answered back straight away. I can't wait to have some suspension on my baby, kinda sick of my boobs hitting me in the face on
every bump!  :bounce
