[closed] Goodridge stainless steel braided brake lines

[Woodduck]

Sorry for the noob question...but whats the advantage to have these over stock brake lines?

[tangcla]

To be honest, not too much on a stock setup when the car is so new, but once the car gets older, it helps prevent the lines from stretching when you step on the brakes.

Incoming PM to the top five people on the list.

Spoke with Gary and he's not willing to undeclare the item for customs (understandable for a company) so five set at $160 + $50 postage = $850USD, which makes it just right for the first lot.

+1 & the "BLING" factor

Lines have been paid for

I just sent you an invoice via paypal for the lines. I will order the lines when the payment is made and ship as soon as they arrive.

BTW: steel lines inprove the pedal feel.

looks like i was told wrong:

Importing Goods By Post
Imported goods may arrive into Australia by airfreight, express courier, sea cargo or via the post. The method of delivery determines the Customs clearance formalities and charges.

If you are receiving your goods via the post you are considered the importer of those goods and these may be subject to Customs duty and Goods and Services Tax (GST).

Generally, all goods imported into Australia are subject to Customs duty and GST and are assessed for community protection risks. However, all goods (except for tobacco and alcoholic beverages) may be imported duty and tax free if the value of the goods is A$1000 or less.

Irrespective of how your imported goods arrive in Australia, you will be required to lodge a formal Customs Import Declaration if their value is above A$1000, and pay the calculated duty and taxes. Import Declarations are used to clear goods from Customs control. Import Declaration may be lodged electronically, documentarily or through the use of a licensed Customs Broker (located in your local yellow pages). There are cost recovery charges associated with the lodgement of an import declaration.

All imported goods are subject to the controls of the Australian Quarantine and Inspection Services (AQIS). More information on AQIS requirements is available at: www.aqis.gov.au.

Good Afternoon guys,

To the lucky five, a payment and PM has been sent.

Cant wait.

[tangcla]

The lines were ordered the same day payment was recieved from you. Most likely it will be 1-2 weeks delivery to me, then I will ship to you ASAP via USPS Priority Mail International.

Thanks

[tangcla]

I have been advised of a tracking number for the brake lines.
