maybe try sourcing it through low range offroad. i have dealt with sean there before and he was a great help when i ordered my skid plates. may be easier dealing with him than calmini directly. he might also have a kit in a warehouse or something rather than waiting for calmini to build one.

yer sean is awsome bloke had dealings with him they are really good with email replys as well

Hoping someone can answer this question. Im looking at getting the 3 in life kit from calmini. Im guessing ill also need the replacement bush kit. If i order that at the same time will it mean ill have to pay GST ect when i import it? Im worried it will put me over the $1000 limit

Why do you need the replacement bush kit, mine has done over 100 000klms with the same bushes.

I believe that 3" Kit comes with the bush kit.

also not sure about the import taxes. not sure if they will ping me atm. because the kit is 995USD, atm that would equate to about 980 AUD. so we shall see if customs decides to sting me for it in a couple of weeks

I am not sure if Customs include post as the total cost of importing items, might pay to ask Calmini if they can print on the Invoice for just the cost of the kit and separate Invoice for post.

If it's under $1000 you should be ok, I imported a Gas RC Car and including post it came to $980 came through Customs no problem.

Weather car parts come under different rules can't say.

yeah thats not a bad idea, i might just do that. if i can save a couple of hundred in taxes all the better for me

I ordered a kit they other day. They said they had two in stock. Any idea how long the kits normally take to turn up?

[stocker]

no idea, i payed for mine yesterday, so i'll let ya know when mine turns up .


also the idea of ordering the kits without postage price on the invoice is a no go. they wouldn't do it

Suck it and see i guess

Bugger, I checked the Australian Customs site and they include the post/insurance in the total price.

Well it looks like kit is in australia and is on its way to ballarat going by the tracking info. Although it looks like they might have lost one of the boxes. Im really happy with how quickly this kit is arriving.

So whats the downside to the calmini kit? Loss of comfort , less stable on highway?

In my SWB it is a little harder ride, but it feels more like a go kart, no real downside.

Don't bother, I don't run mine and it drives fine, but I do have the Calmini steering stabilizer.
