Purchased from Tractive Suspension in Sydney on 14/1/2019 and had minimal use.

This suspension was purchased for my weekend car (F80 M3 Comp) and has on done 4000km of weekend driving on backroads etc.

TRACTIVE SUSPENSION TOURING LINE:

With our touring line you can experience the track feeling with the comfort for daily use.

In Great condition!

This electronic One-Way kit is valved specifically for Road and Track use, with a focus on sufficient comfort for optimal Road use while maintaining sport performance. Each kit is engineered for optimal performance and durability. The dampers are fitted with springs and have an infinite ride height adjustment either through the platforms on the shock bodies or through the separate adjusters.

These kits are made specifically for OE top mounts, which means that the set contains either formed springs or adaptors to suit the stock parts. So these shocks are not fitted with top mounts.

RRP - $7799 AUD

sale Price - $3500

Located in Ringwood, Victoria. [IMG][/IMG]

If I'm not mistaken, are these not the "Touring" dampers? The "Road and Track" dampers do come with Tractive top mounts (not OEM), and look slightly different than the ones you have pictured.

That's correct, it's the Touring line kit.

The Touring kit is sold brand new for $3950 USD (~$5000 AUD) in North America, whereas you put retail as $7799 AUD. The "Road and Track" version may retail for that much; however, not the Touring.

Right, well I know for sure it cost me 7790 inc GST here in Australia!

The kit I have uses the standard top hats.

That's very interesting.

TT Suspension is located in Australia, and their North American counterpart in the US is quoting a price 30-40% lower than what you paid (including duties). I'm having trouble seeing the major price discrepancy.

Would you have a copy of your receipt/invoice for potential buyers?

When you import them you would have to pay duty/GST/freight/insurance/AUD conversion which would make up most of the difference and then there is always the Australia tax where stuff is just more expensive here.
