So? STI is the tuning section of Subaru, I want to modify it using mainly STI parts. I'm turning it into an STI

Its the same as buying AMG parts for Mercs, Alpina parts for BMWs, Nismo parts for Nissans and so on...if you get what I mean...

£67 delivered direct from Japan. Japanparts.com - Mail order from Japan directly|JDM Parts,Performance Auto Parts,for Subaru, Mazda,Mitsubishi,Honda,Nissan,Toyota car

It says 2 weeks delivery, not too fussed if its a bit longer though, in no rush for them just yet.

Just keep checking the price as the currency exchange changes pretty much daily so you may end up paying less that I have, then again, may end up paying more if the Pound gets any weaker...

Free shipping? not too bad, few bits and bobs I want from there, don't forget you'll most likely have to pay customs import tax though, more than likely, unless it says otherwise.

I didn't say it was free shipping, i said £67 delivered, as in the total price including the delivery cost. I've bought stuff from the US and stuff from china (cdwow.com) and i've not been charged any customs excise yet...

Ok keep your hair on...

It all depends on what they put down as the value on the package, you might want to let them know to label it at a lesser value to avoid their attention.

Lol, I have, merely explaining my experiences.

Too late lol, I ordered them on Friday, really though its not a right lot if they do send me a vat bill. A few people on here have bought stuff from JapanParts.com and haven't mentioned anything about the vat so I guess I'll see what happens. Even with the vat they're still cheaper than what you can buy them for over here.

On topic though, luckily theres no drilling to do involved so hopefully it should be a 10 minute job

Yeah it does, the pedals were around £10 delivery via Airmail.

I priced up loads of STI stuff which included some STI lowering springs and suspension mounts and that lot came to about £540 and the postage was £140 for all of that delivered to my door.

Got home today to find this package waiting for me...



Yep, they came, all exactly right and just as ordered . Took just a week to come, really impressed with the service and communication from JapanParts.com so I will definitely be buying from them again.



Erm....can anyone read Japanese?




These will be going on before NBO now

I've just bought some metal polish as well. I'll keep them as clean as I can but at the end of the day they are pedals so gonna get used.

Perhaps you should go a bit quicker and leave a bigger gap
