If you guys are talking about spending $300 for a very minor correction in roll center - is there genuine interest in a set of spindles for say $1000-1200 and aluminum arms for maybe $200. Add in the price of hubs(probably use off the shelf Nissan stuff from another car) and ball joints/shanks for more adjustability - so another $350.
I'm seriously considering it given the talk in this thread, but I'm wondering if it's just talk when it comes down to the price being about $1500-1800 for a set of aluminum/adjustable spindles plus control arms up front. On the plus side, you'd have new hubs and ball joints up front, so you could maybe consider some of it maintenance expense.
So what's the Zilvia response? I'm thinking if people have such a problem with $300 for a set of rear spherical bearings they'd freak at the thought of spending this much on their car.

I would be willing to spend between 1000 and 1400 bucks on something like this. I don't think 1800 is unreasonable I just don't think you'd really be able to sell them. I mean fuck, people think 800 dollars is expensive for coilovers.
If you could make it so the stock hubs/ball joints - or if you could request a taper difference to run the shanks I have on my car it would save some money.
I don't have any money for something like that right now anyway - which is why I am attempting to build my own crap. I guess we'll see how that goes when I drive it.
