Try Apex - they were due to have 18s that will clear the brakes earlier this month: 925-245-0773 https://www.apexraceparts.com/

If so, you'll realize a significant decrease in weight.

You can always order it online though. Last time I checked, most tracking services now work worldwide so you can track package by china post tracking number . To be honest, I am into online shopping a bit way too much. Since I always order plenty of packages at the same time, I have to make sure that my stuffs aren’t lost somewhere.Before I knew about this tracking service, online shopping wasn’t my first choice. It has actually happened to me once where I was informed that my books got lost at the transit point. I couldnt find my package . But now, I am no longer worried about this ^^

The key question to me will be about how much time the car is going to spend on the track compared to the street.

If it's a just-for-fun weekend car supplementing you daily driven Volvo, go for a more available m-sport car and factor coilovers, a big brake kit, and an LSD into your budget. It'll be a far more capable car in that configuration.

If you're going to be driving it everyday and want a car that you can switch between comfort and sport+, it's worth waiting for a THP and doing camber plates, Dinan shockware, and changing out the brake pads, lines, and fluid for a much more compliant experience. It's a rare car, and waiting longer and paying more for the Jekyll-Hyde character is worth it for a daily driver.

I love my RWD THP. I ended up ordered it new because I had the exact same problem finding one that you're having now. It's fast enough for me and very capable for the level of driving I do. But I also acknowledge that it's not the track beast some of the more modified cars floating around the forum are.
