No, best bet is to give Nik a ring at VF in the states and he will be happy to ship them over to you. Again I always find it best to ring and make sure you let them know you are ringing from NZ and they will put you straight through. Very happy with mine and with the support VF has given me with my rallies. If you do get them whatever you do don't over torque them or you will strip out the threads in the chassis and have to replace them with helicoils, also make sure to re check the torque after the first month or so and then every 6 months to be on the safe side, though if your just using the car on the street it shouldn't be an issue.

Al mate. Is it significantly cheaper to purchase them straight from VF themselves rather than ECS? I was thinking about getting them as well as the same swaybar setup that you have (through ECS that is).
Cheers,

Edit: Answered my own question. ECS is $7.44 more expensive. I didn't realise VF have an online store and prices listed.

Hey Trent, I just got them from VF as Nik offered me a deal if I ran them with some VF logos on the car in a couple of events and sent him pics and reports. I would have got them anyway and have been very happy with them just make sure not to over torque them, get Michael to install them as he has worked on mine and did the helicoils for me when I needed them before Buller.

If you want to have a drive of mine to see if they are what you are looking for the wife is away this weekend so I've got nothing on, feel free to drop round and you can take it for a drive.

Cheers Al

Hey mate. Unfortunately this weekend is all tied up with a BBQ and a lunch and the Broncos match on Sunday. How about next weekend? I'll drop you a PM next week.

That's nuts. The mounts themselves are $550 USD. You must be getting absolutely shafted on the shipping and the exchange rate! I get an all up quote from ECS of $707 USD.

Bloody hell. Not only is Helen Clark one of the ugliest men I've ever seen she's bending all you kiwis over as well.

Do you pay Duty for goods shipped from OZ? If not get them shipped to someone here and then have them shipped to NZ. As long as the shipping from here to there isn't too dear it may be cheaper for you.

duty on anything over 400 dollars.. its fricking stupid..

Anton, I've been looking these mounts also and have found that Autopassion (I think they are in Cristchurch) is a registered VF dealer, don't know what their prices are like though.
