Default Canadian parts online anyone?

I trying to decide if there is a market for a Canadian site to purchase parts online. I'm looking into bringing in Spoon, Endless, Alpine developments (new to North America, forced induction)and Hotchkis Tuning (sway bars, chamber plates etc) to start.

I would have to spend $$'s so I'm seeing if there would be any interest before I blow a lot of cash. What do you guys think. And is there anyone doing this is Canada because I have had no luck myself, just expensive shipping from the US vis UPS

Thanks for your help.

I'd be VERY interested in a Canadian place that would sell parts for roughly the same as places in the States sell stuff for (after currency conversion, of course). Most of the places in Canada now charge outrageous prices, and you can't order from the US, cause when you factor in shipping/duties/taxes, the price is just as high.

You've got at least one potential customer. Good luck with it.

Well, I've been in need/want of various parts at different times. Right now, my brake pedal is shaking like a b*tch, so I think I'm in the market for some good aftermarket rotors and pads. Maybe even a whole rear disc conversion.

I think it just depends on time. I tend to only be able to afford to replace stuff when I need to, rather than buy whatever whenever. But if you could provide decent prices, I know a ton of ppl in Honda's that'd probably love you for it.

(Oddly enough, I drive an EL, not a Civic, and I can think of a TON of people who would love some cool JDM EL stuff. Check out www.clubel.ca )
