[jpestrada115]

@ ej201: sorry mate. i saw your post after i've ordered it. we could've saved on postage if we bought it the same time. oh well.

@ .k.: US$85 for the damper kit and $38 for postage (US priority mail international)

just email the seller guys. he respond to emails very quickly.

[ej20i]

by the way, the action racing one from taiwan responded to my mail. they said minimum order is 20 sets! but its cheap. i think they quoted US$21 each if you'll buy 20 sets.

$90 shipped from www.drm-motorsport.com

this ones, much more easier compare ixiz damper ones coz :
1. bracket on fender = clamp on the front reinforment bar, only remove 1 screw on top which is very easy. and because clamp on the front reinf bar, make it very secure and strong.

2. bracket on hood--> only need to remove 1 hood screw (instead of 2 screws). so your hood won't be shift

3. the ball joint is weld (integrated) with the brackets (instead of screwed)
highly recommended:thumbsup:
oopps last thing : JDM :) made in japan.
