I'm still thinking of getting it, and hopefully ditching the failure prone honda distributor, but my distributor is at 100,000km mileage (plus the halfcut mileage, it's around 200,000km+ and still working (yes, I find it hard to believe myself.)Most of my friends that had them that long had them failed at least once.. just hope mine survives till I can get the MSD's one, but the price is like double (or more) of that of a new honda original, so save up slow-slow le.The only way you can find stuff cheaper than what the shop sells is through Ebay or Yahoo auctions, but even that is not so straightforward.. The taxes and the S&H usually inflates the price, and well, the manufacturers don't really like supporting people that buy their products off eBay.The only stuff I brought in direct from US is an ST-Tech anti roll bar (which is no longer in my possession), and a few other things like fuel regulator and filter/intake kit from AEM.Nowdays, you can get from local shops like KSP, Pentagon, etc. KSP and Pentagon has quite an inventory of US Performance parts, so you can hit them up for those. AEM is still not available locally yet, I think.Bringing individually was the only option when most shops didn't carry them years ago.. nowdays, they can bring in cheaper than what you can buy online from major e-retailers, direct currency conversion seems cheaper at first, but when shipping starts at USD80, and gets more expensive with weight, you tend to realise the total price when it reaches here.Bodykits are the worst, as one unit that was brought in for a friend more than doubled in price due to S&H. Big packages = hefty shipping.Hondata is ordered, yes, direct from US. No shops have them in stock right now I think.Innovate, I got from KSP. I had issues with a first auxbox unit (the display was a bit problematic) and they gave me one on one exchange. If I had bought it straight from US, I'd have to get it RMA'ed, and that is not cheap and it takes time as well. So, given an option, I'd rather buy from a local distributor/dealer, because of the easier support.Electronic items are fickle.. you might get unlucky and get one that is defective, so it pays to buy it from a place that give support/warranty on the items.S2 Parts, you can get from Pentagon if you're in KL.Even Kelantan also has an S2 items now, a couple of my friends with shops are stocking them.</blockquote>
