Question about importing Japanese Parts

[Ninety Four]

I'm looking at buying some Tein Flex coilovers, which are only sold in Japan for my car. Is there a way to buy them straight from Tein Japan, or would I have to go through a 3rd party to import them?

you'd have to get them from a distributor. JUst look up the part no. on the tein jp website.

Yeah, I've done that, but the distributor is tacking $350-$450 onto Tein's price, so curious if I could cut out the middle man.

yea most shops here charge a 15-20% markup.

They're based in japan so it's a bit cheaper.. but what you save you would lose in shipping. They also carry cusco and buddyclub applications for ae101/111. Whichever floats ur boat.
