It's really not a PRACTICAL question how much stuff costs over there - unless you go over there and get it yourself.

In that case, get any issue of OPTION, look at the numerous ads and you shall have your answer(s).

seriously, it isn't that much cheaper.
on a set of coilovers...if he gets back without paying taxes on them you may save like 100-200 dollars best case scenario.
and not alot of shops will have parts for those cars in stock...special order.

If you're in SoCal, go to Mitsuwa in Torrance or Costa Mesa - the Asahiya bookstores always have Option/Option2/Carboy

Also, consider these factors:

1) Most shops speak very little Engrish.
2) Most shops stock very little Honda stuff.
3) You have limits on what you can bring back before you start paying Customs duty ($400 per person is the posted limit).

There is not much difference... meaning it almost as expensive there as it is here.
