What does everyone think about this ...... In my opinion it is very pricey but it is preety well what I want to make my mini go well and I don't know of the power figues but I would thingk that they would be preety impressive

http://www.minimania.com/SC_List.cfm
these prices are in USD so the real total would be about $7,500AUD

Rip off or not?

Please keep in mind that I hope to do this over about a 3 year period of which I will save up the money

Pat

S DISC CONVERSION BRAKE KIT DRUM TO DISC
$1,395.00

$1395.00US - $1,822.92 AUD - and then there is shipping on top of that - then as that is over $200 worth it needs to be declared at customs and attracts the good old import duties [litlle Johnny has to get his cut] - I can't speak for the rest of your selections but I know you can at least get this item new from an Oz supplier cheaper than this and the tax is already paid.

So to answer your question in the title - for this item at least = Yes.

ps Your orginal link send's us to the checkout of that e-store, but becasue we have not done the product selection you have, our shopping kart is empty.
