We do have plans for more parts. We are currently working on a panhard rod relocation kit, torque arm, and then moving on to the subframe connectors.

Nobody has ever come to us with a part issue other than UPS carnage and that's pretty rare.

nobody is looking for a deal from these guys, we all understand that they are already very reasonable.. they are just stating that they are ALL good for a buy as soon as they make.. just trying to get the product in the market a little sooner so they can buy it from them.. that is all they want and mean by it

Agreed! If we get enough interest, they'll make them at what price they feel is fair for market value. And it will still be half the price of a BMR or UMI piece!

Not that we are complaining though about umi or bmr. Everything they make is well worth the money and very dependable pieces. So either one of three things will happen here, founders will keep their prices at affordable rates and everyone will be beat or lower their prices also to compete, founders will go out of business because ppl are leery of the price and quality(very unlikely) or founders will eventually go up just like any other company once they get Reid foot in the door and are making quality parts. I'm thinking I am going to want the #1 option to be played here lol. Nothing beats half price . It's like car tjmax lol. Just wish there were more selection, which there will be soon.
