Also they are used, aka instant 30-40% off retail price.

I offered what I can reasonably afford, and I mainly want them for the bling factor, Standard GR+ would suit me fine for drifting.

Recently picked up FOUR double adjustable PENSKE's for $1000, new they are $1700 EACH

Sorry bro but I don't fall for the 240sx hype tax/drift tax.

I know real racing parts, I have real suspension on my other cars, and I especially know good dampers.

Don't expect me to pay premium prices for startup brands, when I can get Sachs 3-way WTCC suspension for $2500

Cheers


Thats all fine and dandy but why not PM him your lowball and spare his thread your useless insight? I understand that $3K is a high retail for a startup but that doesn't change the fact that it's the price. It's one thing to PM someone what you have to offer and it's another thing to come off as a complete dick with your useless opinion on a suspension setup that YOU WANT. Just saying

Stance is not my cup of tea but price seems fair GLWS OP
