Use one of the on forwarders in the states, I've used comgateway.com and found them good, well priced depending upon the item, especially compared to the costs some sellers want to charge.  Large light things (think exhausts/fuel tank/air boxes etc) are costly on a per kg basis compared to small heavier things (hubs etc) due to them using either actual weight or volumetric weight. 

I've averaged about $10/kg overall (including all other fees), but the first 0.5kg costs you $24.  The shocks should cost about $70 by themselves assuming they weigh about 5kg.
