It is low for a brand new application and retooling. How many do you think they'll sell after the gb is over. It's a good way to go bankrupt, making aproduct with limited demand and giving it away.

wrong! i just ordered and paid for 12 sets + 2 sets of springs + 2 sets of boots and 2 sets of plates.if you seen how these are actually made there is no loss on tooling or labor.there is only 4-5 different styles of coilover bodies and the only changes are the bottom mounts and plates cause all the springs are the same size.

I guess the 17 members will still be here when all is said and done @ cjandura. Guys, lets just say the discount wasn't near 20%.

So what was the lowest price the vendor was willing to go? I was willing to pay $850 shipped for a set. I was just looking for a discount, not half price. Would they at least be willing to offer free shipping or some kind of a maxima.org discount?

Ah, I guess it really was not all that, then.

I learned a valuable life lesson, let the work and product speak for themself. If someone toots their horn too loud, it is probably what you are going to get, just a promise and a toot.
