LOL.

They come with the new bolts too. Pretty nice kit. The snap rings look good too. Like I said, just 2-3 had a slight hitch when I articulated them. When I compared to the smooth ones, looks like they might be pressed in just a hair too much. Like I said, not problem to fix. Just was hoping if you're buying the completed kit, all 16 would be perfect.

Either way, I got new GM rockers and what looks like basically the Comp Trunion kit for less than it would cost me to buy them + the labor. So I'm happy. Means I can put my stock rockers on the shelf and if anything happens with these, I'll have a set I can send out to CHE quickly for their bushing upgrade.

Hinson told me it's Lunati's version. I'm guessing some third party makes these and everyone else is rebranding them.

yeah, probably closer to the truth. That is a helluva deal and while I enjoyed pounding my old trunions out and pressing in new bearings/trunions...I would rather have new rockers and trunions for this price!

So I got a PM on here - looks like the Lunatis went up to 450!

Damn!

Went up on Summit too. I guess the price was too good to be true...

They were under 300 everywhere. CoSpeed, Summit, Hinson.

Jegs still had them at 291, but were out of stock yesterday.

And yeah, LS rockers are at least 11 a piece. Which is why I bought these.

At 400+ I'd do the CHE upgrade and not worry with it. Or the Comp Trunions...

Looks like Jegs still has these for $292. I just ordered a set. Says it won't ship until 05/30 though.

Yeah strange right? So what I did was took the SKU # from say the Hinson site and put it into google. Went to all the websites that offered and saw Jegs was still $292. Pulled the trigger, but got an email shortly there after saying the item was discontinued...
