Carl,

I've put many sets together with the Coleman racing parts. They work perfectly with the Koni shocks.

Your upper perches required machining if you don't use the 600/400 setup, you then expected the end user to have them machined at their cost......

Instead one can order off the shelf Coleman parts which fit perfectly and work perfectly with whatever spring rate they choose to use.

I guess I will need to go through my notes and post up the part numbers and links so that people can order them directly.

You stock nearly nothing and charge more for things than people can get them for anywhere else. So people are paying more for things, and then having to wait longer to get them.
Top this off with a terrible return policy (anyone considering buying anything contact Dan87951 for his 928motorsports experience).

Carl, what's the cost of a complete, assembled set?
Of what, Glen? Konis with springs and perches? Bilsteins with springs and perches? I do not know which or what you would like a price on. Sorry.

Roger:
My business model is totally different to yours
Yes! I agree with you. That was the point I was trying to make, and why you cannot compare your markup with our markup.

Incidentally - remember when you and Shaun told me I wasn't charging enough on 16v engine wiring harnesses? That's because our markup is not flat. It varies depending on the item - and I am sure you may have a different markup for pass-through parts compared to manufactured parts as well.

my name to you is Roger.
I understand. I don't answer to "Maltese Falcon" either. It was your "just pulling you leg 8> kiddin'" to me that made me think we were speaking in the familiar. I knew better. You like to hide passive-aggressive comments with a "just kidding" to make them all innocent. Glad we can clear the air.

For the record, I have the last available Devek setup with the externally adjustable Koni's and Hypercoils (600/400) and it cost more than any of these options when I got it 8 years ago. This came with the springs and custom perches with adjusters.

Yes. A full, pretty set like TV provided the picture of.

I'm just curious and think others may be as well.

tv, Those photos are of a better than new 928. It's the only car I've seen in my limited exposure that gives Jarod a run for his money on cleanliness

Keep up the good work !
