It's a good investment, you'll notice the difference when riding in the rear passenger seats.

Again it depends on who you get at customs the day your package arrives at the border.
I ordered items for my Versa from an American company and never had to pay custom / duty charges. However, customs was very careless and opened up the package to check what was inside and ended up damaging the part. However, everything was fixed and received the new replacement part afterwards. I think if it is a big item and worth a lot that they may charge duty, however I went across the border every single week for school, and they always let us bring back alcohol (even though we were not there 48 hours) and they never once stopped us, or made us pay duty.

If the company you are ordering from can send you the item marked as a 'gift' then you will be fine, and not have to worry about duty/custom charges.

They see an item marked as GIFT from a Company they will open it up and duty will be charged.

ok, after reading a few suspension threads, what is the consesnsus for "best bang for the buck" suspension enhancements for sway bars and braces for the HB?
I would just like to stiffen up the ride without getting anything that isn`t really necc...
so for you experienced versa owners/modders what is a good choice for a rear sway bar, and what braces would best be beneficial? is there anything I should be made aware of like sacrificing any trunk space etc??? Than you...
I see one choice in sway bar @ versaspeed... any others?

If you email Garm at Micro Image he will let you know the cost to ship the item to Canada. It's just not an option on his site; but he can find it out for you if you ask him.

oh man. MicroImage has the Nismo strut brace now. Pricier, yes, but I'm vain. Just ordered that and the rear sway bar. Coming from a Mazda3 hatch, the one thing that car has over the Versa is handling. I'm not expecting miracles but here's hoping the sway bar and strut brace even the score.
