Default Small bits to bring from America?

Hi all,

Got a friend visiting USA so I've asked him to pick me up a modifry dash bracket for phone holding..

Can anyone think of any other small bits only available in America that I could get him to chuck in his suitcase?

Balade TCT could be a good one. Should not be too big.

Suspension/geo bolts, you could fill up a whole suitcase of them and make a huge profit selling them here
Some other maintenance things from the top of my mind, fuel filter, coil packs and if you ever need to change your clutch, pilot bearing, clutch release bearing and guide.
If you got an early model car you might want a set of AP2 retainers/keepers as well.

I'm pretty sure you can get all of that stuff over here without a massive price increase?

Unless you can give me an example?

You have never compared the prices before?
Yes there is a massive difference on almost everything, most is around half the price but there are things that's 3-4 times cheaper.
Cam nut for front lower control arm $17.4 in the US and $65.4 from Lings (UK).
Retainers and cotter pins for intake side $52 in the US and $200 from Lings.

Geo bolts and nuts are half the price - so are the coilpacks and most of the sensors : map, o2 etc.
