So far to buy these items it is cheapest to buy from Locktup ...
$849 for a high steer kit
$399 for x2 bilstein shocks
Does anyone know of anywhere or anyone that can better these prices ?
Ive tried superior... BBM motorsport ... snake racing and more but cant beat locktup

every time im looking for parts it seems locktup is the cheapest way to go unless you get the parts straight from the states (i saved around $300 on longfeilds last week doing just that ) . and locktup is pretty fast with delivery aswell , not like one of the businesses you named
cheers Jai

easier? quicker? i ordered parts from the states and lockt up at the same time , got the parts from the states with the parts from lockt up same time except for the part they had to source from the states themselves which arrived the next day . and its no harder ordering from the us to what it is ordering from interstate.
but locktup are reliable and prompt

What a lot of you guys are forgeting is that with locktup you have more chance of geting any problem resolved than using the US companies especialy with warranty etc.
And before you all say you work for locktup i don't anymore i started the company but had to leave due to ill health.
So just bear in mind that you may save a little but if you have any dramas it will cost you more and more hassel.
Just another way to look at things.

Exactly they sell american products but there aussie blokes running the business (locktup)... therefore they get a cut of my money ... rather than trail gear or whoever getting 100%

i agree but its all about risk management , you can save a lot if you are prepared to lose alot . maybe i have a gambling issue

Bravo, good call mate. Even a dealer on the east coast would be good!
