central ontario shops or...

hey guys,
I'm looking for a place to get some new shocks. like the idea of the Bilstein 5100. so does anyone know a goo place to pick these up? also looking to get a new leaf pack in the back. one that gives a 3" lift.
i know there are lots of places in the us but i don't think its all that cost effective to order from over the boarder.

 

to be quite honest i am in the exact same situation i feel like any one in Ontario just gets screwed because i mean its near impossible to get aftermarket stuff for second gens, it suckkkkks if anyone has any info for me and alex it'd be appreciated

 

maybe someone should get a po box in buffalo.

 

i know action van and truck in orillia carries bilstein shocks, there's also a shop on dunlop st here (barrie) that sells bilsteins

 

http://www.bilsteincanada.com/

i believe people have also purchased from this site too

 

yeah the issue with Van and Truck world is that they go through Keystone as their supplier and the mark-up is unreal almost 30% mark-up cost to each object. and both the barrie one and orillia one you mention 5100 series lift/levelling shock and they look at ya sorta like you want me to go where now? i have had no luck with a leaf pack or 5100's the best we get is the goofy ReadyLift SST

 

i don't think they have the right ones.
has anyone done the whole PO-box thing in the US and just went down to get them? this seems like the best idea! so long as one can have things shipped to PO-boxes

 

good to know

ahh ok i wasnt too sure but i thought i saw that website on here before. guess i am going crazy

 

http://www.overdriveauto.com/default.htm

came across these guys today

 

i shall venture to overdrive tomorrow and see what their story is about our trucks see if they can help us central boys and ladies out

 

they have bilstein as a vendor on their website so hopefully they can help ya

 

Is there any "National 4WD" or "Action Truck Caps and Accesories" shops up there. If so they could help ya out.

 

national 4wd is super expensive, and action truck has a big markup apparently

 

I just got 4x new FJ rims sent to a UPS store in Port Huron Mi.
Super easy I called the UPS store and used their address (w/my name) with a Unit ZZ in the address and track it. I call the day they came in and drove down to pick them up.
It cost me 30$ for UPS to store them/ hold them at there store till I picked them up. It goes by weight so my rims were heavy.
Claimed them at the border, no problem
Save me 300$ in shipping/ Brokerage charges.

Hope this helps
Mike

 

I was in there a few months ago, but was just browsing. The guy who runs it seems super nice and is and ex-soldier .
Keep my posted if you find out he carries Billies or OME. I am thinking of getting an OME lift very soon, and so far Baja North is the best Canadian dealer I can find.

 

i found a small place in whitby that deals bilstein's. tool tyme is the name of the place and its on hopkins. i would think they don't have much of a mark-up.
i've gotta get the proper part # so i can see how much they want for them.

over-drive is where i got my rims from. nice guys in there for sure!

 

http://www.usaddressinc.com/ I used this place last summer its like 5min across the boarder in Niagara falls. It worked out great cause the stuff I bought was free shipping in the US. The outlet mall is 5min away from this place so I made a day of it.

 

sorry guys i kinda forgot about this thread, Overdrive cant get the stuff we need he has no supplier all he can get is the stock stuff i'm trying to get him to open up a dialog with DSM or Toytec

 

they can get bilstine shocks but not the 5100's of coarse. because they are actually a subsidiary company that is making them and not bilstine proper.

lame!!!
