over on the east coast you have k-mac (Sydney) and I hear a Selby family member is still making items to order out of Wollongong ?. Surely buy local first ?

Whiteline used to do a rear bar for MY BSR241 ? and it was priced arong the same figure you guys are looking at for postage from the US !

Well last Saturday I should say I emailed a reseller regarding them. Then early in the week paid for them and now they should be on their way.

I spoke with Rodeo4Jake via Facebook since I know he's subi-less these days, and he's pretty busy.

He came good with the following as to how he got his bar sorted:
I ordered it online from Jegs.com. If they Google Addco sway bars & get the part number for Brat rear swaybar then you google that & find them for sale online. Jegs were very good, they even called me to confirm everything before they sent it.
Back then he said it cost about $300 to his door. With current exchange rates I'd budget for more unless you get a good deal!

I hope that helps out!

Cheers

I've never had a postage cost like that from the states!

But I have seen postages costs like that from Oz!

Did you try shopping around?
