The point that you cannot seem to grasp is that nobody around here cares if you can make A set to sell for $200, you cannot begin actual production of them and expect to clear any sort of reasonable profit @ $200 a set. Whether in your little mind you think it wont be more to go into actual PRODUCTION or not, it will be.
Again- Nobody cares if you can make a set or even a few for your buddys @ $200 / set. This is not the arguement.
You cannot actually PRODUCE them ( meaning enough to support actual retail sales to a large group of people) for $200 a set and actually stay in business.

As far as you making a set that would duplicate the spohns AND alstons for $200, I would love to see you pull it off, go ahead try it I dare you, when you are done please fax me a sheet of your costs, with your negative profit circled at the bottom.

When you say you are going to build and sell them, and I say you cant PRODUCE them for $200 a set reasonably, and you continue spouting off about how your labor is free, tools are free, wear and tear on equipment is free. IM not the one being ignorant.

Holy crap if you make the fouth option you might as well go with a tube chassis. Not a master fab guy by any means but.......no one knows what the other member is capable of. After market and generic parts almost always require some type of fab or mod to fit correctly. Personally I have hotchkiss conectors and other than the stock exh routing they fit good.

I can’t tell, does that car have t-tops? I’d love to see more pics of it.
FWIW, most of the passenger side of option 4 will not clear the stock exhaust routing.

To bad SSM isn't around anymore.
I love my SSM subframe connectors.
Cheaper than most, and stronger. Can't beat that.
