    Its all a matter of homework.

    I order most things from BMA and find that brake disc rotors are the heaviest and therefore the most expensive in freight. Still save money compared to buying from dealers though.

    I have even ordered and received a radiator from them at less than I could source the same here.

    Suspension components are usually not that big & heavy. I have bought shock absorbers, control arms, thrust arms, dog bones, tie rod ends, etc etc all from BMA at enormous savings compared to dealers.

    Patrick will give you a quote for the parts as well as the freight and you then just have to do the sums to see if it is worth your while or not.

    I have also, so if it's really heavy you can specify usps (boat) 4-6 weeks.

    I too have ordered a radiator from BMA. Spoke to Patrick there on the phone and he's a really top bloke.

    Brand new radiator + shipping cost me less than a reconditioned radiator from the wreckers here in Aus.
