Where should I buy my comptech swaybar?
I need a Comptech competition front sway bar. G5 quoted me $795 cdn plus GST and PST.
The cheapest I found on the net is $625.50 usd plus $54 usd shipped to my work place. With a 1.13 exchange rate, that is $767.84 cdn plus brokerage and taxes. I can also pray that I am not billed the GST and PST when it crosses the border, but that is a long long shot.
My other option is to have it shipped via ground to an address in the US for $15 usd and install it in the US and toss away my stock sway bar.
Option 3 is the cheapest at $723.77 cdn plus gas and beer.
What do you guys think?

The difference between options 1 and 2 against 3 is more than $70. The GST and PST portion is over $110. We are talking about a difference of $180+ for me to install the bar in the US and toss away the stock bar before coming back into Canada.
But the other side of the equation is that I need to drive down to the US, have them ship the bar to someone in Washington, and spend the better part of a saturday/sunday, and the beer and pizza for the guy I will be bothering having the bar sent to his house and installing the bar.
I need to do a mileage calculator to figure out how far it is to my friend's place in Washington.
