okay ima sell my Akebono's and jump on these.
That shipping is simply ridiculous.
Point taken, but Kido uses a reputable shipping company, DHL Express. You also get your item FAST from Taiwan to USA/Canada. If this was shipped cheaper (e.g. cargo boat), it would take probably at least a month and I believe when you receive you have to pay custom/duty fees (I have no idea, I haven't done this. Maybe Dave can chime in as he seems to have customs hook-ups).
Also, the shipping costs includes some handling to properly box and package and also note the Kido is paying the duty fees for it to leave Taiwan to come into the USA.
The coilovers were USD 225 in total to ship for one set, the shipping weight is around 62 lbs and is a huge box.
I could have said $XXXX shipped and no one would have said anything about shipping costs, but I wanted to leave details. Most people hesitate ordering from overseas and look for US sellers.
I think anyone who ordered the coilovers would give positive feedback on how fast they received their product from Taiwan and how they received them without damage. They can probably also attest to how heavy the boxes are and can probably understand where $225 in shipping/handling/duty fees comes into play.
My point is, Kido is not ripping you off and getting rich of shipping costs. I promise you that you won't find these prices anywhere else.

I would prefer to have the pricing detailed rather then just a plain Jane "$XXXX shipped". I like to know how much the goods are worth and how much on the shipping. Remember, these bigger rotors and they are heavvvvy.
Coilovers shipped out on a Friday from Taiwan and was out for delivery in Houston on Monday. Enough said. :D
PM me prices on these. I could be interested rather then sourcing a brembo kit.
