Thinking of importing C-One Suspension Components

C-One is a Toyota tuning company in Japan. They have made various Celica, bB, ist (gen1) and Vitz/Yaris parts. They are starting to produce xD/Ist Gen 2 parts now.

I'm thinking about importing a few of these items (coilovers, chassis braces, etc).

Just seeing if there might be any interest :P

I tried to see what product are available to get a general idea what will be offered but i can't read what is what!!! What parts and what kind of pricing? I'd be interested in some suspension parts if the price is right.

The retail pricing in Yen sets everything to be at the same level most items are here.

Example MSRP:
$200 sway bar
$140-$240 chassis braces
$240-$300 Springs
$1200-$1600 Coilovers

Depending on the freight to bring it over, and the actual price they are willing to sell it at... we should, hopefully, be under that price point.

I'm getting a full updated catalog soon. I'll have full reports and, of course, I'll be the test car for these products :P I will assume Coilovers are the main item we'll be looking at, along with a few braces.

I would go with Beatrush to be honest, same design and quality as C-One but cheaper price because of the different name :D I would definately be interested though. Some of it should be shared with the Vitz 5 door though. I'm waiting for my lazy butt brother to let me know when I can come into his shop and take a look at mine and his on the lifts.

My contact has industry contacts in Japan, so they should be able to do the Vitz RS/ist 2 test fits without a problem. They are actually developing xD-specific parts though, so that's even better. The only bad part is that it seems our engine is only available with an AT in Japan :doh: It shouldn't be a problem since we're FWD though =]

I also have a Beatrush catalog on the way, so no worries there.

Sounds great man, if you can get a better deal then Kami Speed you have my business :)

It does stink about the tranny but we do share it with the T Sport Yaris in Europe if you want to look into that. I was talking to another person about the possibilties of getting a LSD (maybe Kaaz) into our tranny because he believe the tranny is shared from an older model also.

I'll have some pricing once I confirm a few things. We'll be using old school freight by ocean though LOL! It's about 1/4 the cost, but takes... 3 weeks x_x

I'm checking into GT-Spec components at the moment. I've been a bit stuck w/ actual work so I haven't been able to fill out the vendor forms to get a price =P

Wow, bit too luxurious for my tastes lol I don't think you'll have anymore luck with Beatrush, I was told they're actually the same company.

Rockland told me they're good guys at GT Spec, make some good products too.

I'd also try to contact Kami Speed and see what type of deals they give them because they are distributors for C One/Beatrush. If they have a better deal u can try talking them into something better :P
