![]() The C6 Corvette drop spindles would have been totally off my radar. It looks like a pair of these LG C6 spindles on their own run $1,420- much more reasonable than our $3,000+ spindles. ![]() I'm personally more familiar with additive manufacturing from my studies, but I do know that with subtractive manufacturing, like milling, the main cost huddle is still the 3D modeling and not so much the dimensions of the piece (within reason). The difference in pricing from these manufactures is further leading me to the conclusion the CFR kit is priced too high. Also I'd like to point out that any "wasted" aluminum milled away from the process does get collected and recycled. But as it's a common practice to reduce costs and you put it in quotes I'm sure you knew this already. It may benefit somebody though. Your argument for the low production effecting costs is valid, I'm just curious as too why other CNC projects from Voodoo13 I assume to be low production, like the JDM S-15/ R34 RWD front tension rods I mentioned above, are not also sky high in price?
