If we all could just get ASM to take just one zero off all of their prices they would be more reasonable. $320 jackets, $1800 coilovers, $400 exhaust, $42 seat stand

Does anyone actually buy ASM stuff? How do they stay afloat with those kinds of prices. That is a new level of ridiculousness.

we think they are pricy, and many of us can't justify to pay that much. but i have seen a lot of s2000 owners buy their parts through carview.jp.

You can think its stupid, but saving that last once in every last place will shed another hundred lbs. A great example is aircraft fasteners most all of them are Ti and bolts alone shed thousands of lbs off planes, depending on size of course.
i think you talking about 5 more lbs than most aftermarket headers when it's 5.45 lbs compared to 10-12 lbs aftermarket headers.

Ok, after looking at the ASM site, I was surprised to see that stickers are only $10 considering this:

http://asm.gotuning.com/asm-sre-3-way-dampers-is-11/

ASM 3-Way dampeners... $18,000.
Expensive, but they're a quality set. There are other dampers on the market at this price point if you're serious about tracking
Are they 3 times better than Moton?

A comparable set of Motons will also cost 5 figures
