Where to buy OME?

[TyzToyz]

I need some coil springs for my Tacoma and have decided on the OME 881's.
I am having a hard time finding a place that will ship (reasonably) to Canada.
All local shops want $100 per coil and that just seems a little high, so I'm just looking for some advise on good places to buy.

I like Toytec for there prices.

[Brazenhead]

You can try ToraSport as well. Their prices that are advertised are usually higher than what they actually sell for, so give them a call and see what they'll do for you.

Thanks for the replies. I guess since I do not know anybody that lives in the US, I am out of luck as far a shipping goes. It seems most companies are to lazy to drop stuff off at the post office.
Prices down sout are great, but shipping is killer :mad:
Anyone else got any connections?

My only suggestion would be to ship to holding warehouse at the Sweetgrass border crossing and do a border run. Of course this depends where in Alberta you actually are.

[Brazenhead]

Torasport has the 881's listed at $79.95 so really $100 isn't that bad considering shipping, gas, or whatever else.

I purchased my OME stuff from Metal Tech. There shipping rate was very reasonable.

Hey Tye,

Check with Wil @ NSOR...that's where I got my OME gear from.

I have been looking for OME add a leafs like Nathan got or OME Dakar HD leaf packs, and its pretty interesting to see the variation in prices!

I have been checking out trdparts4u.com and it seems like they are reasonably priced, just have no idea on shipping...

I got my OME springs and shocks from All-Pro during the group buy and it was a great deal!

[TyzToyz]

Thanks for all the replies. trdparts4u will not ship to Canada and wheelers shipping is pretty high, shipping from NSOR after shipping brings the price par with the local shops.
I bit the bullet this morn and ordered local. I've got the Billy 5100 adjustables, OME 881's, and the Dakar rears coming.
Before I found I had a broken rear leaf I ordered an add-a-leaf, but obvously cannot use it any more. If anyone is interested in a Tacoma add-a-leaf, I have one for sale (brand new never installed).

[CalgaryRider]

are those the OME add a leafs? and would they fit on a 09 Tacoma? If so I would be very interested!

I've gotten stuff from TRDParts4u before (relatively recently too). Wheeler's is awesome to deal with and after I got my Icon's, Billy's and Deavers shipped it was still just over what National would have charged for just the fronts (a set of "Fab"Techs coilovers). I have not dealt directly with NSOR but I know that they are supposed to have free shipping on orders over $750. Weird.

Well its all good if you found a place local that can compete with the big boys. No more shipping hassles that way.

Is there any benefit for shipping larger quantities? If so get them quoted with a pair of OME 886 Heavy Front springs for My FJ :) and we can split the shipping.

Oh, when I ordered the first kit, and bumper etc, Brazenhead and I got together and ordered through torasport and shipped to border. It was economical with a larger order. On a couple sets of springs it probably won't work quite as well...

I wonder if 20 is the magic unlurk number??? I guess not... :(

[90 Runner]

no its 30. Keep trying you could be warming up too

This was what I was told by trdparts4u:
Hi Tye,

We really don't have a cost effective way of shipping leafs to Canada. Do you have a US address we can send them to?

Thanks,

And this was what Wheeler's had to say:

We ship UPS expidited. And the shipping would be about $110. That includes all the taxes, brokrage fees, etc.
Which is close to par with NSOR and a little less than local.

I just wish that alot of companies down south would use USPS instead of UPS.

The add-a-leafs are gone BTW :D

Anyone have any experience when it comes to installing the OME springs onto the 5100 Billy's? I am under the impression that a press is a good idea.
With the age of my suspension, what are the chances that the coil spring isolators and anything else in the factory strut (C/O) being reusable?
How about shackles or front hanger bolts???
