Hey DMACK, thanks for the questions!
Unfortunatley the Barrie location is no longer. We have a small warehouse there now that houses some of the original stock, but all the Solo Werks is kept in the USA warehouse at this time.
Delivered to you, the Solo kit is $575+HST (we take care of all the border stuff so its just like you bought them locally)
As for the lowering:
The measurements below are taken between the center of the wheel and the fender as in the diagram below:

- The max lowering shown in the tables above is achieved at the lowest position of the threaded adjustment on both front and rear axles.
- Helper Springs have been retained and should not be removed! See notes below on the Helper Springs.
- These measurements allow for the shock absorbers both front and rear to have the minimum amount of travel required by the engineers to do their job before full bump stop engagement.
- You must trim 50% off of the included Front bump stops to achieve this lowering & travel range.
- Removal of the OEM sway bar is necessary to achieve the max lowering due to contact issues with the drive shaft. Aftermarket units are available that will clear this issue.
- Depending on your wheel and tire combination, you may need spacers to clear the coilover perch/springs. SOLO WERKS recommends at least 5mm clearance in this case.
- At the lowest level, you may need to modify one or more of your body panels to allow for sufficient travel of the wheel inside the fenders. Please ensure that you have clearance from all obstacles through the complete travel of the wheels.
NOTES:
The Helper springs are there to keep tension on the main spring during full extension of the shock absorber.
The main spring is not long enough on its own to keep the shock at full extension.
Removal of the helpers will result in the main spring being able to travel away from its upper and lower spring perches, and will result in damage to your suspension as well as other components.
DO NOT REMOVE THEM!!!
Thanks!
