Question GTA'ers...know if I can get these locally?

Any of you Torontians know if there's a shop that sells Rotora, Brembo...has a variety of different brand name rotors (slotted)? I know I can order them online, but would prefer saving on shipping if there's an aftermarket/performance shop/distributor that carries them locally.... Too expensive to keep converting to USD and also pay for shipping.. our dollar is too weak to keep changing currency....

Thanks!

Say ... Woodbine brings 'em in ... but they get you with exchange rate when they sell 'em to you. (at least when I get quotes from them...)

Well, the American dollar is worth much more than the Canadian dollar. In the province where I am located, we also have 15% tax. Our prices may seem higher to you guys upon first glance, but once you convert it to USD from CAD, you'll often find it'll come out cheaper for you guys, or even equal.

I paid $8 CAD to get the '02 cupholder insert to replace my '99 piece of junk... I think I read here a while ago that some people in the U.S. were paying between $10 - $15 for the same part. If you convert the $8 CAD we paid, it would've cost $5.75 USD.

As of today, it'll cost me ~$1.40 CAD just to end up with one American dollar. ...So it's often not a savings at all for us to purchase something from the States that is listed for a cheaper price (in USD) cuz once we convert it to Canadian currency, it's nowhere near the price we thought. It'll only cost you ~71 cents right now to equal one Canadian dollar.
