Default Where can I buy the RS2 caliper carrier bolts, other than 034?

These two little bolts are the last thing I need (other than pads, which I'm debating still):

<a href="http://www.034motorsport.com/product_info.php?products_id=688">Bolts at 034</a>

The cost is $7.50 which isn't a problem, but shipping is $17 dollars, and UPS Canadian raper shipping too! :-( The damn bolts only weight 1.5 lbs!

To put that into perspective, I added a massive GT35R turbo to the order that weighed about 25 lbs and shipping went up to $36.00, only a small fraction of the order cost.

:-\

Can anybody point me to a place I can get bolts without paying 230% + brokerage for shipping?

Thanks.

Default They are hard to find in the proper grade...

If 034 has them I suggest just paying the shipping and getting the right parts.

At the time I did the brackets, 034 didn't have the correct bolts in stock, so...

Stock bolts were shortened. (I can't speak to what this did to the temper of the bolts, etc.)

Because...

GAH! I found them at ECS Tuning as well, but ECS wants $46 to ship them! :-O

Default if you have a PN, call down to Kris @ VMautohaus, he'll get 'em, just not sure what price

and of course it'd be shipped to you as well

Default Not really a fan of Kris, last time I bought from him he told me to use the wrong sway bar bushings

And when I e-mailed him about exchanging them for the correct bushings he ignored me. He loves to ignore my e-mails. I shouldn't have to take time off work during the day so I can call long distance to some guy who can't read e-mail.

Your loss. I am sure there is a reason. Pay ECS $46 instead.

Are you heading up the VMAutohaus fanclub now? I like a little customer service, thanks.

That's annoying. I haven't heard much bad about him, but I hope that's not how he is all the time.

Default I've had no issues with Kris, YMMV

BTW, I think ETKA is wrong on the sway bar bushing size. I ordered the wrong size too.
