I'm all for capitalism and convenience. I disagree with how they market the product and the doubling of the cost of said product. Some people like to save money where they can on these money pits, so what's the harm in shopping around a bit and not getting screwed on something?

Speaking of "on to other things", I ordered the same parts from Moog directly based on the info, but thanks for chiming in.

Meh, some people are more concerned about convenience. Time is money.
I am sure that if nobody buys those control arms from MM, they will quit selling them.
Obviously, there are enough people who buy them to make it worth their while.
Different strokes, different folks.
MM has been in this business for a long time. I am sure they weighed the pro's and con's and came to a decision that works for them.

Maximum Motorsports has a lot of the answers that people need/desire when it comes to suspension.
Nobody likes to pay extra, at the same time nobody likes to work and hand out advice for free either.
If they did the research and agree with how the product compares to the motorsport version, that work has a cost.
While i like rockauto, you are on your own, two different types of companies.
Penty of reputable companies have higher prices than basic resellers. If support comes with it, most of the time i can live with a few extra dollars.

Just buy a watts link or panhard bar and a torque arm and you no longer need them. There I saved you $99.

I've bought stuff before and discovered a better price elsewhere afterward.

It happens.

Particularly when you start to weigh in the shipping costs from each vendor. I think Rock Auto gets $10 to $15 to ship depending on which of their warehouses sends it out.
