Are there any preferred vendors for buying aftermarket gear for our Mini's in Canada? Lowering springs, real CAI, stuff like that.

 

Short answer is there is none. If you find one the price is well beyond reasonable. Unless you are looking for lights/ascetics. Then theres one that i have found that is worth the effort that specializes in minis.

Depending on where you live (close to a border) there may be warehouses that allow you to ship to their location then you go and pick it up (then pay your duties/taxes when you bring it back). I live in Southern Ontario and sometimes it's quicker/easier/cheaper for me to use a warehouse service in Buffalo than for me to ship to Canada.

Where do you live?

 

Nova Scotia. Coopersport seems to be a nice site - thanks!
