I could have swore they went out of biz a while ago? They powdercoated my wheels for me but that was years ago. They used to be a sponsor but they havent been in years I believe. Cant use a PA or BMR or UMI k-member?

why so high, I mean mustangs are like 225. Its not like it cost you alot to make them, and hell if you sold them a little cheaper more people would buy them and you would end up making more in the end.

There is alot more work in this item then fox body mustang K-member. You will find all F-Body K-members priced about the same. FYI we sell them faster then we can make them now.

You can get a k-member for a foxbody WITH upper and lower a-arms for like $450... I just don't see why f-bodies cost so much more, Not hating or anything, just curious.

I wish someone would answer this with out the answer "everyone else is priced around this area". Its simple.. a company can either sell a few at high price, or sell alot at a less price and dominate. So few pioneers out there, everyone is striving to be like everyone else. and letting greed take over common sense marketing. Price them like the fox bodys and you'd have an endless market and endless sales. But what do I know.

Profab did indeed close. Jason & PA racing was partners with Profab and split off on his own because of the other owner of Profabs lack of ethics. If you need one of them let me know. He's doing my cage/parachute right now actually
