I guess they don't like money.

Anyway, does anybody know of other placess where I could buy my suspension parts and get them into Canada without paying insane brokerage fees? I'm wondering about getting the core parts at SHOX.COM and then buying all the bushings, arms, and misc stuff from one of the other Audi parts sites out there (like Blauparts.com).

Default Why is everyone surprised at bad experiences with ECS?

STFA for tons of funny ECS stories.

Default 034 is where i get the bulk of my stuff and I'm in Newfoundland ,it's fast and very little extra...

Paid for customs and it's Send USPS .Just call Dan or Javad and tell them what you need and when and how and the guys are very accommodating. They like money.

Default unfortunately, ECS errors do seem to be the rule rather than the exception

I like supporting people who develop stuff for our cars, since there aren't very many of them. But ECS is always a crapshoot...

Exactly. Tell Kris I sent you. (You should get a discount).
