ahh the best thing about this is that the $2000-$3000 “JDM” coilovers are mostly all built alongside the less respected non Japanese brands. the price is what makes people believe they are amazing ---

Certainly not when bought used from an importer. 1 minute google search: [http://www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/publications/pub/bsf5056-eng.html#s2x3](http://www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/publications/pub/bsf5056-eng.html#s2x3) [quote=“Canada Customs”"] **Modifying an item outside Canada** Under customs legislation, if you take any item outside Canada and change it in any way to enhance its condition or value, the CBSA does not consider it to be the same item when you bring it back into the country. **_You have to declare the full value of the new item_**. > [@Example](#): > > You take an old diamond ring with you on a trip outside Canada. While outside Canada, you decide to have the diamond taken out of the old ring and placed in a new setting. When you return to Canada, the ring will be considered new and must be declared accordingly. > Even if part of the ring originated in Canada, the CBSA is required to treat the ring like any other piece of jewellery you may have purchased while outside the country. This rule applies unless you have previous authorization from the CBSA to have those repairs or alterations made outside Canada. **Repairs or alterations to your vehicle/ vessel/aircraft** If you intend to have repairs or alterations made to your vehicle/vessel/aircraft outside Canada, check with the CBSA for information before you leave. Under customs legislation, the CBSA can no longer consider your vehicle, vessel or aircraft to be Canadian-made if you increase its value, improve its condition or have it modified outside Canada. **_As a result, you may have to pay duty and the goods and services tax (GST) or harmonized sales tax (HST) on the entire value of the vehicle/vessel/ aircraft when you bring it back._** Duty will not apply to the value of the repairs or alterations made to your vehicle/vessel/aircraft in the United States, Mexico, Chile, Costa Rica, Israel or another [Canada-Israel Free Trade Agreement](http://www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/trade-commerce/ta-ac-eng.html) beneficiary when it is re-imported into Canada; however, the GST/HST will apply. Emergency repairs can be made to your vehicle/ vessel/aircraft while you are travelling outside the country to ensure your safe return to Canada. However, to be eligible for this special provision, be sure to declare the value of all repairs and replacement parts when you return to Canada with the vehicle. Transport Canada also has requirements for vehicles that are extensively modified.
