Looking for opinions on RHD and Nengun to import Ikeya formula arms for the car.

Nengun have a much lower list price ($778) but when going to check out all the fees etc comes to $951.(there are many variations on this, and some additional fees for paypal etc)

RHD have a higher list price ($870 odd) and only one shipping cost bringing the total to $961.


For the sake of $10 I would rather buy from the importer who has a good reputation amongst you guys.

So, who do you recommend?

I bought a number of things from Nengun (including an Exedy clutch kit, Apexi boost controller and numerous smaller items) over a few years and never had any dramas at all.

Have never dealt with RHD so I can't comment on them.

from what i have heard, nengun are reliable however in some cases they dont have the parts in stock so you have to wait weeks for them to get it in stock plus you have to wait for sea freight. could take 6-8 weeks..

I prefer RHD Japan. No BS, easy to navigate. Nengun has crap wait times for items out of stock that they bulk order at the end of the month with their suppliers.

I always used Greenline , slightly more expensive BUT always arrived very quickly .

Nengun WONT tell you if they are out of stock , you will just wait until they get it and decide to send it . But heaps of people have used them without major issues , parts always show up, some take longer that was all , from those i know whom have dealt with them .

Just to close the loop on this, my Ikeya arms arrived today.

That makes it about 3 weeks from order to delivery, give or take.
