Its legal but I wouldn't save much if anything. I would have to lose on the exchange rate, the duty and still pay the taxes. Only time its really worth while on a new car, is if you find someone desperate. Or if the Can. dollar is worth more then US. dollar, which isn't often.

If yes, make sure you get your stock RS wheel back and don't let them take it, at least you can sell it to cover a bit of your cost.
Pricewise, I think if you are willing to go for different muffler of any kind it will save around $200-300 there but not TRD muffler though. Same as non-TRD shock can save you around $600 something.
Another suggestion to save labour cost is to buy those shock and spring, bring them to some mechanic to install for you for $50 per hour labour, this move will also save you some money.
I know you like TRD stuff, those stuff usually cost a bit more than aftermarket. If that is what you like just stick with your plan.
The cost of tire seems a bit a on the high side, is there any other nice comparable tire with lower cost?
All those are what I can think of to save you some cost.

I get all the parts that are swapped out, not sure how much I'll be able to sell stock parts for though.
I asked today about the double install charge on the suspension install, I'll let you know when they get back to me, one of the charges should be wiped off.
As for the rubber, I went to KalTire today and got a price about 700 dollars cheaper than what the dealership gave me. They also made a suggestion for different tires, they said I would be way happier with Nitto Neo Gens instead. I guess they are an ultra high performace all season tire designed for lowered cars. They are also less money.

I already have winter radials for the stock RS rims.
