Supply and Demand. They don't exactly go flying off the shelves so mass production of the eccentrics isn't feasible. Percentage of Bolt Kits sold, compared to the amount of Zs on the road has got a pretty good spread

Also, they got you by the ***---If you gotta have them your willing to pay.

I will say this...Im dropped 1.2 with 19 30s, Have the SPC front and rear A- arms etc and sold my toe bolts because I got a kick butt aligner that didn't need them

No more than a Turbo Kit should be 5000.00 sitting in a box at your front door (and another 4000.00 after you unpack it)

Everthing is relative

Still a lot cheaper than buying tires every 4 months.

They increase the adjustment capabilitys to compensate for lowered and re-rimmed/tired cars.
