Have a look at the minispares site, it calculates the freight for you. Most of the time its cheaper but then if something happens to it or you don't mind waiting a few days its your risk...

Yep make sure you get the lowered one, I think NMP had them in stock not so long ago for $1500, A friend has the normal set and he wishes he got lowered, little bit more expensive.

Also note; some coil over sets for the mini, are sold without the offset rear, so make sure you get that to.

I have coil overs in my 180sx and its legal down here....

Im sure they would get me for something else before the shocks!

just a quick question, what would make them not legal?

For a start, the shock mounts of a Mini bolt to the inner guard not the subby, and are not designed to cope with spring loads....??
But of course you could beef things up and get them engineered legal.. :wink:
