Banzai Hobby. Not sure what they've got for kits but shipping is super cheap and their pricing is fantastic. EG: $6/pr for S Grips. (about $7.50CAD landed) They'd cost me $15/pr locally.

BTW: I apologize to all the local hobby shops that can't match this pricing. It's not entirely your fault. The thing you have to understand is that I'm a disabled guy on a fixed pension. I can't keep up with local pricing. With S Grips being the mushy things they are now, I can easily burn through a set every week. At about $20/pr (mounted) plus race fees, gas and everything else that goes along with this hobby...well, if it weren't for cheap new stuff and even cheaper used stuff, I couldn't participate.
