Progress Sway bars in Canada?

Looking to get front and rear sways for the car finally, and I've decided on Progress Tech. I was wondering if anyone knew where they sell them in Canada? I can't seem to find any retailers here, and shipping alone from the US is around $100 everywhere PLUS import duties. Any help is appreciated!

I just purchased some front and rear progress techs.. your only real option is to get it sent to a facility like CBI at the border, and head down to pick it up. It'll save you a significant amount on shipping, and border fees as well if you slip it through the cracks.

I've used CBI as well for my mid-pipe in the past. But after the cost of CBI storage fee, food, gas, hotel or same day tax...the cost worked out to be about the same.

I usually will group my purchase to CBI and do a one time trip. But if its just for 1 piece of item. Shipping to Cdn is less hassle.

I'm sure 'thewird' or groups like Igarage or Nextmod could get them for you as they probably have an account and shipping arrangements.

thanks for the suggestions! JRP in Mississauga can order them and they get discounts, so I'll see what they can do for me. In the meantime, if there's interest in doing a group buy for the GTA people, let me know!

To further my buddy ritual's comment.
If you plan to drive over and come right back with being honest. BHR sells the 2 sway bars for 380 USD and then ship to CBI. It's $10 for the storage fee (flat rate USD) There will be no duty on car parts crossing back over. Just pay 13% tax at the border and you're ahead of the game.
It's approximately $60 in tax. for the bars.
My only word of advice, make it worth your while when you go down. But you don't need to spend money on a hotel if you're in GTA.
