Pete when you say raw materials are you talking machining process too, or are you saying that 4 blocks of aluminum cost over $1200? Is this stuff made of unobtainium?

The rear knuckles for the Z/28 are under $200 apiece, but GM's production capabilites helps to offset the costs involved.

Buying in quantities of a few hundred thousand over a period of years does bring down the cost.How much is a SS strut compared to a DSSV strut?

The JPSS ultralight unobtainium full race Knuckle Drop is only $22,327.19

Did I mention we are working very hard to reduce the cost and therefore the retail price point of the Knuckle Drop?

That is all!

"This is the ultimate in performance for your 5th gen Camaro. The uprights were designed using Auto Cad and Solid Works. They are CNC machined from a single 44 lbs block of aluminum. Machining time is 8 hours per pair resulting in a individual weight of 8 lbs for each upright. Every control arm is Tig welded by a AWS certified welder in a purpose built jig. All Blu808 Items are made in house."

Ok, if Pete can pull off 4 corners for 4k, color me impressed.....but that's going to put a sting on the budget.
