Default Site with Sparco gear cheap?

Does anyone know the name of the site that has sparco driving gear for really cheap? I remember seeing it on USTCC.com, but they have changed their website since I last visited.

They appear to cater primarily to rallyists, looking at the links on the site. If you are going to have seats shipped across the Atlantic and pay duty, why not go to Demon Tweeks? (UK)

Currency converter at http://www.xe.net/ucc/ if you want to play around...

Do you know how much VAT is? DemonTweeks pricing is great, shipping is reasonable, but it doesnt include VAT.

Right - no VAT. Shipping from that little island to the US was quoted at about $200 - based on volume, since they are big and bulky. I was told I could get other stuff poked in the space between the seats shipped for the same dough.

Kirk. $200 for just shipping?

I ordered one sprint seat a while back, with brackets, and some other small stuff. I paid $60 for shipping. Got it in two days.

Premier shipping is almost always cheaper than the cheaper shipping. It is weird, I suspect it has something to do with boats and planes. So try a price on the "expensive" shipping, and dont be suprised if it ends up cheaper.

That was shipping from England (Deemon Tweaks), in a box big enough for two seats and a bunch of smaller stuff.

from demon tweeks. Had a pole posistion sponsorship with them for 2 years... They just decided no more of those for overseas customers.

I've ordered alot of stuff, always "premier" shipping, and it is always under $60 or so. Even when I was contemplating shipping a safety devices cage, it was under $200 for shipping.

Havent ordered in a while though, so maybe stuff has changed. Hope not, I will be bummed.
