OEM Porsche Parts in Canada??

Does anyone know where I can buy Porsche parts in Canada? Be it a store or online, no preference. Even the business could be in the USA, but if they have a warehouse anywhere in Canada it would be great too. I just don't want to get stabbed with import fees when ordering.

I may be looking at a complete brake job for all 4 corners soon and I don't want to go to the dealer and spend thousands on insanely marked up parts.

I just had all 4 done, rotors & pads @ Mantis in Oakville. They were half the price of what the dealership wanted

If you order from US, just stay away from UPS for shipping, they kill you on brokerage fees every time, I always try to request USPS, at least they've been fair in the past

If it will fit in a small box, we can easily use the USPS. If it's big or heavy, then we have to use UPS.

Unfortunately for me, I want to order a complete (4 corners) set of brakes & pads. I would anticipate the box to not be too large, but weigh around 80lbs total. I checked out autopartsway.ca, BUT I want OEM stuff and they show Zimmerman rotors in stock ... has anyone heard of this brand and whether or not they are good quality?

I've done the cross drilled Zimmermans on an old VW. After a month, they were rusting everywhere. I didn't like seeing rust all over hub, cross-drilled holes, outside perimeter of the rotor. And I was driving the car in Florida, not in the muck and snow in the North. Maybe coat them with something before installing? Aside from the rust, they functioned well for me, and they were a good deal.
