Other than that, it's just building shock mounts and shocks. Looks like I'll probably just make my front kit from scratch rather than use the Porterbought kit in the front. No offense to Nathan Porter but when it crossed over 400 dollar threshold (plus shipping) I kind of fell out of interest. I'd like the pride of making my own patterns and cutting my own parts anyway.
I understand completly and thats why I wanted to let you know. I'm glad I got my order in before the price increase. I was thinking it was a little high as well but I checked around no one has as complete of a kit as porter anywhere close to that price. Ridetech is $400 just for bags, cups and plates now and their cheapest shocks are $250!
