That kinda stinks. It would have been nice to have something coming to market besides the Nagisa Auto arms.

It's almost impossible because of the amount of labor involved is pretty extensive. Now say 50 sets were made, the price would be cheaper. But with the interest so far, these arms may just be one-offs at higher prices.

I've been looking at the Nagisa Auto ones and ALMOST bought one (biggest problem was that they weren't exactly selling them yet).
So put this thing on the market, price it anywhere lower than the Nagisa Auto ones (which are through the roof expensive) and you have one buyer right here, no questions asked!

I can possibly understand purchasing these if you already had camber arms that don't provide caster adjustment(stillen, cusco, kinetix), but at ~$900 a pop it's still cheaper to swap camber arms for a design that adjusts both caster and camber.
These look to be a sturdy/quality design, but cost prohibitive if you asked me unless you drastically needed to change caster from factory spec.
Just my $.02.

Sometimes changing the geometry of one suspension arm puts undo stress on the other arms.
Figure if I can adjust caster from the A-arm and the lower arm AND have them be beefier more sturdy structers in the process then I'll prevent potential future problems by just changing the geometry and sturdyness of one arm and not the other.
I could be totally wrong in what I'm saying/thinking here, but I'm a firm believer at overdoing and overinsuring things at the get-go because accidents and mishaps down the line always cost more money....
