The Rear springs on my '70 Dart 4-door are in need of replacement. No prob, right? Except the only source I can find wants $300 <i>PER SIDE!</i>. JCWhitney has them for 59.99/side, but I'm leery about mail-ordering parts and don't know how much shipping/taxes/duty will jack up the price. SSD, Sandy in BC, any Canucks; HELP!! |

well..heres what I do....I ordered JC whitney springs ...paid the $59 a side and got them UPSed to a UPS Store in Colville Wa whereI have a post box . I picked them up there ...paid the GST at the border and drove home. Your experience may differ. Get a box in Blaine and save some cash and have a Homeland Security adventure. The Canadian side is easy if you tell the truth,,,,have receipts ready and have cash for the GST. The American side may use a device called "The Ionizer" to see if you are a drug lord and they may find "background radiation" in your 32 yearold truck. They may keep you for 3 hours while they figure out what to do. They will reluctantly let you moan bitch joke and be an @$$#&!%. When they get tired of you they will let you go,,,,albeit late for supper....true story(my 53rd birthday) |

After the local auto parts stores, Canada Spring (local spring mfg.) was my first call. He had none in stock, but called around for me. $290/side was the best he could find. |
