The OP never stated if this was for all the Caltracs components or just the bars. If he was intending on complete system I can for certain see the $1800 and more. Taking into consideration the low $CDN and the obscene shipping rates and brokerage fees to Canada. Here's how I see part of the breakdown.
$398 Split mono springs
$339 Caltrac bars
$238 ($119ea x 2) Calvert rear shocks
$118 ($59ea x 2) Calvert front shocks
$29 Calvert wrench
$1122 USD total x 1.32 CDN exchange= $1481.04
$1481.04 x 15% HST (harmonized sales tax)=$222.15
Now we are at $1481.04+$222.15= $1703.20 CDN and the transportation and broker fees still aren't included and they are many many times what the Continental USA rates are. So when the OP quoted $1800 if that was for the complete system I believe he is still short by a bunch.
Just for conversation sake all those big mail order stores that offer free continental USA shipping those in the US are getting a bargain compared to what your friends to the north are getting. I am in no way venting it just is what it is. Doug
