maybe we can get a deal on two sets of IMPULs?

 

Well, I know Rick can't pull it off... and even if he could, I wouldn't bet it to be more than 5-10%
$600- for springs alone is still too rich for my blood.

 

+1000...
sorry, but no way are springs worth that kind of scratch.

 

Guys, am I looking at the wrong part # here?

I think this is right and if so, the 43,500 yen converts to only $445- dollars plus shipping.
Is this correct?
$445 is a hell of a lot easier to swallow than $695.

 

WTF... that part number looks right, but they want another $215 for shipping!
Uggh.

 

You got it. Shipping from Japan is a bitch. I paid over $200 to ship to Hawaii before import fees. The deal from Rick is pretty good, relatively speaking, if you live on the mainland becasue he has all the import stuff covered since he is shipping to his company first then to customer. Remember the import fees will add up to around $75-$85 after shipping.

 

i would just like to know about any possible shipping price discount for multiple units. Surely if you ship several sets to one location, that should be cheaper than shipping several sets individually.

 

Im interested in this as well. If there is a discount on shipping a couple of units together, might be a bit cheaper in the long run.

 

just a heads up, japanparts.com is having a sale right now. might be the right time to get those Impuls....

 

Did anyone have any luck with better pricing on these? I was excited to see the reviews on the drop with these, but certainly hit a road block when I saw the prices..

 

Last i saw, the yen to dollar ratio was pretty bad. That could squash any sale price offered. I have the Impul and the drop is nice and mild but if I were to do it again today, I might consider a coil over. The Impul was about $700-$750 + import fees when I got them but the cost of coil overs have dropped a lot. You can get some for about $1000 I think.

Just my 2 cents.

 

Would you get the coilover just based on cost, or were you not happy with the ride on the Impul?

I have read negative things with coils in the winter, and this is my daily ride.

 

The ride is pretty good, seems comparable to the OEM ride. The fronts are a little soft in my opinion but, just a little. I mostly notice when going over speed bumps or into driveways, the front will drop quite a bit coming off the back side of speedbumps at pretty low speeds. I am not scraping or bouncing, it just sinks alot the one time. I live in Hawaii so I can't comment on cold weather performance. The OEM struts/dampeners are holding up so far (about 2 years).

I am very happy with them, but the bang-for-the-buck factor is just hard to justify without at least considering a coil over at today's prices. Remember to factor the shipping and import taxes involved with the Impul...they are a b$tch.
