As Steel Prices Increase, So Do Performance Products Hello,
This post here is just general information that all should know. If you don't already know steel prices have been going up for the past few months, including a 9% increase this month, that just ads to the increases the past few months. This includes all steel types and aluminum including the popular chrome moly.
Being in the suspension business we go through a lot of steel, aluminum and tubing. After placing a large order today and seeing the price increase I figured this was a good time to let everyone know who didnt know about this. The shame of the matter is, us as suppliers can not supply our components at the prices they are now because of these increases. Over the next year as companys inventory gets low and its time to remanufacture these price changes will come in affect. This includes pretty much all performance products suchs as suspension, exhaust, intakes, throttle bodies, body panels and many many more. Pretty much anything made of a metal. Its sad to see this happen and I hope as prices go up everyone will understand
. Just some general information and feel free to express your thoughts.
Regards,
Ryan
