Message	what does that cost to ship? By USPS that is over $300. KTS offers no warranty, we supply the 1 year warranty, any idea what that costs us? Last but not least, I designed/specced the coilovers, tested them, shock dynoed them, and that is why I have the exclusive rights to the Z32 coilovers outside of Japan. Is a 10-15% profit that unreasonable for providing warranty, service and testing/design?
