Alternatives to Rockauto shipping for RAV4 suspension kit? Amazon?
I'm looking for suspension kit replacement for RAV4 V6 AWD and I found it on Rockauto. The price is fine but the shipping is outrageous, it is about $220 shipped to Canada. Amusingly, when I change province and city the shipping fee stays about the same. I checked ebay, the parts costs more and also there is extra shipping charge, although it is about half the shipping as RA. Amazon have free shipping but their exact parts costs way more.
My question is, I have found similar kit of different brand on amazon but I have never heard of the name, it is AutoShack SUSPPK0218. How does it compare to Monroe? I only know that Monroe brand is decent and KYB are OEM equivalents. How does all other brand ranks? I see FCS, GABRIEL, Transit Auto and Autoshack that I never heard of. Please give me recommendation on if I should proceed to order from RA with ridiculous shipping or get it elsewhere, and brand should be reliable.
