Katech Rod Bolts 199$ plus shipping
Katech Rod Bolts 199$ plus shipping 
I called katech today to order some rod bolts and was told they are 199$ plus shipping. Wow this seems way to high since arp are only $79. WTF is with this price. They did inform me that there price has increased. They need to lower there price 
, does this seem a bit high to anyone else??? 
Supply vs Demand I guess

Just curious, exactly what are we getting for the additional money that we wouldent get with the ARP bolts?

well they`re direct replacement stonger bolts that will get the job done just like the arp ..... it`s just a matter of being comfrtable with resizing or measuring stretch and being able to reselling them to someone that wants the same thing stronger direct replacement .... to me it`s a better deal since many engine builders local in Kuwait just tourqe the bolts and will not take the time to measure properly.
I also think they are worth it for piece of mind. I know I don't want to have to worry about resizing or measuring stretch when I do mine. I have also heard form somewhere that the Katech bolts are stronger than the ARP's.
