Where do you guys buy performance parts in Canada?

Just wondering where you guys buy all your performance parts? Any good online stores without the customs and duties of buying from states? I live in Regina, Sask so performance stores are VERY limited and those that do sell... well, sell for a hefty price (ie. stillen gen 3 CAI $549USD regular, in regina store $1500CAD )

Yup... Didn't want to ask for anything else after that and don't plan on going back to that store.

there's no reason to purchase parts in canada as canadian dollars are almost even to usd. 99% of the local shops are a rip off

Yeah dude, why local shop? Just buy it wherever it's cheapest, and have it shipped.

That's why I'm asking if you guys know any good canadian performance shop online. I prefer to buy in canada even tho the USD is almost even as CAD simply because of the custom and duty fees.

Even with custom & duty it's still cheaper to buy from the states. These so called performance shops in Regina don't have anything in stock anyway. Everything is a special order.

Ya... and for some reason, special order always seems longer than buying from states anbd delivered to your house.

Lightspeed Innovations in RedDeer Alberta is usually fairly competitive with the US prices. I am pretty sure they will have things shipped directly to you as well. They are authorized dealers for Stillen, Jim Wolf and several other brands.

They say that "All shipping, handling, customs, duties, brokerage and value added taxes are paid for by Canada Parts Online. They quote the prices in USD on the site - but since the CDN dollar is trading very slightly above US ($1.0047) or even at par - now is a great time to buy...
You'd have to do your homework to see if you're saving based on other US sites...

The cheapest way to get performance parts in Canada is to follow a modded G37, but keep a distance so the driver won't notice you. Then, when said driver leaves, jack whatever parts using whatever means possible. I'm just joking, no 1 snitch

A whole lot of nothing on that site....at least in terms of quality after market parts.
