I've meet Chris in person the first time was almost 10 years ago at a local drift event. He's very approachable and really cares about his sport and the promotion of it. I've even found him chatting and giving advice on internet drift forums. He's a very down to earth and humble guy.
Voodoo13 makes some high quality parts and other than this kit are at reasonable pricing. So why is it that when these two positive forces team up it's a bad thing??
I think I might be the only person to weigh in here yet that would actually purchase and use this steering angle kit, and in my opinion based on everything I've seen and compared so far it's waaaaaaaaaaaay over priced. Maybe I'll just fly out to all of Chris's drift events and collect his slightly used bits off the track haha I think that might be more cost effective

That cost shouldn't be passed on to the customer?
How would the company make its money back though? All R&D and promotions are made up in the company's margin. And I'm sure the margin on these parts is astronomical, for good reason though
