Shipping generally IS more expensive for us, but it doesn't mean that vendors can abuse this fact and rape us on it!

i paid 160 for shipping on my s2k and the rotors are smaller than your sti so i think it would be about right. its just the ups charges alot and rotor are exactly light weight

Subydude can get you a set of Torques for less than that crap.....I paid $70.00 for some front rotors which with rear's they would still be cheaper..

if you got someone on the mainland that they could mail it to, i bet you it would be alot less to ship it to them and then ship it here from your friends. and still be cheaper than all that.

That brings up a very good point.......

How come a set of 4 wheels w/tires cost only around $70 to $100 to ship here....But they want around $200 to ship rotors.

Both items weigh about the same and the wheel/tire combo is bigger????????

And one last thing.........

Why was the quote they gave me $200 exactly?????? I'm sure it's less than that....and they are going to "keep the change".




dumb shipping!
