Overpriced suspension parts??

I'd love a billet spindle if it can be had for cheaper.

And you think the price is astronomical and you think you can make a case for it being cheaper.
That said, go state your claim to the manufacturer, I'm interested to see how good your negotiation skills are, because you really seem to think they're screwing over the community.


But hey, if you can get them cheaper, I'm definitely a buyer. Ask them what discount you can get for 5 sets, I doubt you'll be pleased with the price they give you.



At the end of the day, I'm not trying to be a díck, but I think their price is ok for the market, and I understand your logic in thinking that if they lower the price they can sell more, but I've been here for a while, my rep count is 6 times more than your post count, and I don't post in BS sections too often. So I know that at $2000 for the kit, Voodoo won't sell more. And the company needs to recoup its R&D expense and marketing expense somehow. You categorize it as sunken cost, which it is, but for small shops, they don't care, they can't make 20% margin hoping to sell 5 kits to recoup that cost. They need 50-100% margin to have made it worthwhile, that's what I don't see them lowering the cost no matter how you massage it for them. And I also agree that if a machine shop is smart, their job is to keep the mills running 24/7, the smart shops do that. The book says cost to run is $90 and the output is $30, keep the machine running, BUT most machine shops aren't smart enough to do that...

The product is made for the Ferrari guy. And they're selling at the Ferrari price. Why lower the cost?


That said, good luck
