Those look damn good.

But, I'll echo the complaint I made about the Steeda billet LCAs a while back...why don't you guys make them out of a stronger alloy like 7075-T7. Sure, it will bump the cost up a bit due to the more expensive material. But as the bulk of the cost of these parts is the machining, I doubt it would affect the final price enough to scare off customers. The stronger alloy should eliminate any breakage concerns like the Steedas have, and will give a marketing advantage.

6061 = 2.00/lb
7075 = 4.00/lb
(approximate)

As posted above the price is double, the LCA would have to sell for about $600 for us to be able to afford to keep making them. Besides at this special no LCA can touch ours, i'm not trying to sound cocky but I sell all brands and know the prices. We are just offering another solution of the highest quality yet maintaining the cost down.

THanks,
Derek

Oh, I know that 7075 is more expensive than 6061. I use both alloys regularly in my own business. However, that is just the MATERIAL cost. The machining cost is no different, and the same is true for your overhead. Your MATERIAL cost would go up switching to the better alloy--nothing else. And I am willing to bet you are paying more for machine time than you are for the material. You might be adding $20 or $30 worth of material to the product. That's it. Sell the kits for $300 and you'll be making just as much profit as you are on the inferior 6061 units.

Personally, the price doesn't really concern me much. If I could pay $50 (or even $100 more) to have a part that is significantly stronger, I would do so in a heartbeat. This is especially true when the Steeda billet LCAs have been known to break on high HP cars.
