Hello from Winnipeg

I've had my car for a little over 6 months now, and have been on a couple of US based forums for a while, but just stumbled upon this site and signed up.

I've got a 2014 Mustang GT, in black. Ordered it from Midtown Ford in Winnipeg (highly recommend those guys, btw) at the end of March 2014, took delivery mid-June. For options, I ticked just 4 boxes: 401A, Track Pack (I guess Brembo Racing package in Canada), Shaker Pro, and the backup camera. As of right now, mods are limited to an MGW shifter, GT500 mufflers, Boss side exhausts, and a Moroso air/oil separator. I've also got some Boss coil covers, a BBR stubby antenna, MMD decklid panel and deleted the sound tube.

While the car is laid up over winter I'm collecting suspension components. So far I've got Steeda Sport Springs, Steeda PHB, and Steeda Adjustable UCA, as well as the Ford Racing Jounce Bumper kit. I've been sniping a few things at a time as the big sales drop, as they tend to offset the shipping hit to Canada. Still would like to pickup some Steeda shocks and struts and some GT500 mounts, and chromoly LCA's and drop brackets to round out the package.

I'd like to know if anybody's dealt with Steeda.ca or if there are other Canadian vendors out there that have competitive pricing on parts for our cars. I've been ordering out of the US, primarily because from what I've seen from the Canadian vendors I've stumbled across, the pricing is a wash even after factoring in all the extra fees, horrendous exchange rate, and shipping to get stuff up here, so I'd rather get a lot of this stuff straight from the source (IE Steeda.com, AM for MMD stuff, etc).

Welcome to CMOC. Nice ride you have there. I have been buying my parts at AM. I have them ship to my buddy's house down south, he or anyone else who are coming back to Canada brings them up to me. I also go down there. If I'm in a hurry I have AM send the parts to me.

Welcome to the site. Cool ride. The best thing to do regarding ordering from the USA is to have the package shipped to a commerical box address across the USA/Canada border. There are many USA companies that offer this service. Once the package arrives they call you, then you drive down and pick it up. Your only hassle is Customs at the border.

Western Motorsports - The Source for Mustang Performance Parts and Accessories in Canada

or

The Mustang Shop - Performance, Restoration, & Classic Mustang Parts

as well as Steeda.ca. Steeda can be pricy at times.

I have used them all, or CJPony parts when they have free shipping to Canada. I don't live near the border so the ship to the border option doesn't work for me.
