Brake Discs Compatibility

[RichardMD]

The IS200 has the same discs, calipers etc as the IS300. Am i right in saying there are others in the Lexus range that have the same setup?

GS300 and GS430

[RichardMD]

So Bazza the GS300s would definately fit?

I was looking at these!

If postage is sensible i may snap these up. Any thoughts?

discs weigh a ton ....well almost

i imagine the shipping will be very expensive

and then there will be duty vat on top

[RichardMD]

I thought that but i like the brembos from ASP but they are £200+vat/delivery.

With the discs at approx £65 theres a fair bit of room for postage etc. Does VAT always get lumped on on the way in?

Ive emailed asking for a postage price! Any guesses?

would these be the same size as IS200 discs or are they larger?

Its not so much vat, but its the TAX that kill you when you get them this side off the water ;)

[RichardMD]

How does the tax work? Whats the rate? Is it based on the value of the item? If so that shouldnt be too much if only around £65 for the item.

Import Duty @ 8%

VAT @ 17-1/2%

[RichardMD]

OK. Shipping will be $198.00 via USPS Air.

That at present is roughly £65 discs + £100 postage + duty + vat!

Are you saying there will be 8% duty + 17.5 vat?

I asssume the duty is only added to the £65......

nope duty added to cost and shipping then vat added to the lot

[RichardMD]

Ok...theyve come back to say shipping is $135.....so thats approx

$131 item

$135 shipping +

-----------------

£150 total

-----------------

£12 Duty

£28 VAT +

-----------------

£190

Bloody hell....these tax men dont miss a trick do they! Overall it just about falls within my budget of £200.......wanted some uprated discs that looked more aesthetically pleasing......

May still take the plunge if theres no more pitfalls!

Cheers for the help!
