Post Ltuned parts in ON, Canada!Help!

hi all,
I live in Toronto, Canada. I am planning to purchase the 2002 GS 430 with the Ltuned package. Some dealers I went to actually said they do not know what Ltuned is..or they frankly told me that Ltuned is for the US market. Finally I found this agent who has the individual pricing lists for the parts but has not yet clue on when the shipment will arrive.(I will drop by to see him on SAT)
Does anyone know where I can get Ltuned parts cheaper in the Toronto area? or nice installation service by any chance? I do not wish to pay more for the Ltuned parts than what it really worths.I am just guessing but perhaps the dealer parts pricing include yet some dealership costs?

Thank you all for helping out.

Dan

PS: if any of you who also live in the Toronto area, perhaps you could recommend me some agents who are willing to settle for a smaller profit margin to get a car sale done. Thanks.

Steve @ Carson Toyota offers the lowest price for TRD products. Perhaps you should give him a call and discuss the shipping cost.

A side question, is there any difference between 2001 and 2002 GS430?

Here in vancouver, the dealer actually know about L tuned parts and said that they'll start selling it next year. I got my Ltuned suspension parts from carson toyota and installed it at the dealer.

As posted earlier, Steve at Carson Toyota in California is the one to go to. I would also recommend looking in the classified as I see used setups posted pretty frequently - good deals usually, and install shouldn't be more than $50 USD per corner for shock and springs as L-Tuned is essentially an OEM procedure to replace.
