Nismo Parts... a scam?

So with an eye toward restomod instead of track-derping; I was looking at some Nismo parts. However, I have the feeling they just premium priced standard OEM parts.

Example -

Nismo Tension Rods (GTR) are $400, Nissan Tension Rods (GTR) are $200.

They literally look the same except one is silver with a sticker. Then you read the description..

Description

The Nismo Tension Rod Set 4WD are a great improvement to the steering of your vehicle. Using the strengthened rubber type Bushing to reduce flex and in turn makes for more predictable cornering. The body of the Nismo Tension Rods offer twist and fatigue resistance while still providing a very light weight and high rigidity.
Features:

Nismo Tension Rod Set 4WD
Improved Steering
Utilizes Strengthened Rubber Bushings
Reduced Flex
More Predictable Cornering
Offer Twist in Rods
Fatigue Resistant
Light Weight
High Rigidity
Part Shape and Materials Identical to Standard Parts
Silver Color with NISMO Sticker
They then both reference the same replacement bushing - Nissan 54476-RS580


Then stuff like this - Basically showing the N1 and 500 RRR Blocks are actually crappier then the standard RB26 Blocks...
