Hi all.

Wondering if any Canadians can guide me in the direction of getting specific parts for a '73 1.7L.

Looks like I may need to replace the front control arms (both sides) with the bushings - may as well do the front shocks - full suspension (front and rear).

I have a mechanic (my brother-in-law) and he's suggesting I get all the parts first and he can put them all in so I am trying to source them out locally rather than ship them from the states. Worst case I will but hoping someone can recommend (for a smooth street ride) which shocks I should go with?

I saw this kit at Autoatlanta and wondering if it will give me everything I need minus the control arms ofcourse:

Any guidance would be highly appreciated.

Thank you!

If the country of manufacture is Canada, the US or Mexico then generally you will only have to pay the applicable GST/HST of the province you’re importing to. It gets a bit more complicated with parts that are manufactured elsewhere, as there will be duty levied in addition to the taxes. Goods manufactured in the EU won’t have duty if imported directly (i.e. under the CETA agreement), but will have duty if imported from outside the EU (e.g. via the US). Then you will need to pay for customs brokerage, unless you’re transporting it over the border yourself.
