$600 tension rods?

[knowleqe]

hello everyone, i was just wanted some people's thoughts on justifying paying $600 for some tension rods. i talked to the guy who makes them and it seems the only reason he used titanium was to save weight :rolleyes . i tried to explain to him how hard it would be to move his product when his competitors : battle version, kazama, jic, tein, etc have their respective parts for roughly 1/3 the price.

his other reason is that he can do custom work, like custom engraving, "extreme" positive/negative caster because he feels that adjustables do allow enough room. i can engrave my rods for free....its called an engraving/etching tool. is there THAT much of a difference in an autocross/drifting application when using titanium?

there is no reason...kinda like spending $300 for a strut bar. go on ebay and get some.

You'd only save a few OUNCES going with Ti over steel in such a small part. It doesn't even all contribute to unsprung weight due to the geometry of the tension rod.

what he told you was definitley good marketing, but like what everhyone said... he wanted to make a sale

his marketing sucked. he talked all slow and never let me speak. i tried to reason with him but he didnt want to hear it.
