Maybe... but then why can Voodoo13 sell this similar CNC part @ only $200- retail for the pair??


I just don't see the why the CFR kit is so overpriced there's only two parts that are CNC machined for this application only. Based on their own pricing that means the spindles would be around $3000+ alone.

Or maybe they should offer up this kit WITHOUT spindles

Not similar.

Also, think of the number they'll sell for the 370Z, mayyyybe 1 set, so they need to make up for the lack of quantity made.


Lastly, I believe they do and you can buy the pieces separately

That CNC part @ $200- is the front tension rods from another platform- Why don't you think the two CNC pieces are similar??
The application is for the JDM S-15 Silvia or Skyline R34 RWD only. So it's not like they will be in high volume & effect pricing.

But I'm glad to have this discussion going! I'm really hoping somebody can point out something other than the fact that the CFR kit has Chris Forsberg's name stamped on it- so it's marked up just from his name... because the other pieces from Voodoo13 are quite reasonable actually-

So this leads me to believe the kit is indeed overpriced- I think you're right on though at $4,370 I see them really only selling a few kits, however if they would sell the kit around their regular pricing of their other retail parts, then this kit would be priced around $2000. I think at that price there would be a number of buyers. However that's just my opinion-

To my knowledge the CFR kit is not offered by any vendors ala carte. If you know otherwise please correct me or steer me to a link/ vendor.
