I've taken throttle bodies, 4 Brembo brakes, tail lights and lots of miscellaneous parts with my when I travel back from the states. Still, spark plugs and filters should be pretty generic as the engine is used in other GM vehicles so its always a good idea to cross shop and see what other cars use the same parts. For example, while there are no so many Camaro's in China, a lot of parts are shared with Cadillac and that makes it easy to find some parts for because some Cadillacs are made here and many are imported as well.

Hope you find some helpful nuggets here!

Thanks I will be in the UK next summer so I could ship some items there! God idea thanks!
I think the reason they won’t work on my car is the fact the fifth gen was not officially imported into Korea. Not the ss anyway. Perhaps the v6 was as there is a lot of them. Apparently there are only 4 5th gen ss in the country!
Cheers

If I do come to change the ignition coils because they are faulty:
What does the L99 use. I see square and round!!??
Is the LS3 one and the other L99!?
Thanks

They should be the same between the LS3 and L99. Should be square, but difference between makers is possible. As stated though, I would only change the coils if you have a prob. Guys with well over 600rwhp here in the states running factory coils and plug wires. Only downside to the wires would be if you add headers. I had one get too hot after header install, as many others have had and went aftermarket only for the boot design and heat protection. But you could also add the heat shield to the factory ones

I will be following your advice and that of the other people on this forum! I wont be replacing the ignition coils unless they are faulty!

Thanks
