Hello,
Again, I have not fallen of the edge of the earth, got close though. Yes, being the dad of two teenagers and taking care of elderly parents keeps one busy. Sorry for not keeping in touch.
Ok, on to the brackets, here's the current status. All of the original 25 sets are sold and on cars. The feedback has all been very positive. I knew you guys would like them. Just wait till I get the hollow big rear bars done!
Now here is the dilema, do I do another 25 sets? Before you answer, I must give you some additional info before you answer. The price has to go up. Truthfully, I made virtually nothing off the original sets, not even including the original design/engineering time. When I set the original $165.00, I stuck to it. The fact is, they need to be in the $225.00 range. Considering a decent sway bar is similary priced, I feel it is still a great value. Those of you who have them can attest to the quality.
Now do I do it? I do not have much time to do informal market studies and such, so this is it. You guys have been great, so I want to serve the community well.
The other option would be to again offer the design to someone who has the time and background to take it over and produce in quantities. This would include AutoCad .dwg files, Solidworks files, etc. I have a contact at Mazda Motorsports I have thought of contacting in this regard, but time again is an issue. With this in mind, using my production background, I doubt the pricing will get any better.
Let me know what ya'll think!!!
Godspeed!
