    If its for just Uppers and Lowers that price is fine.
    Its when spindles get involved it can get more expensive. Plus shocks. And then if you do not use your stock coil bucket? Or are you adding shock loops, engine cage etc.

    Don't be a cheapo when it comes to suspension.

    Quality work usually has a quality cost ;)

    Yeah, Building it right and using the proper parts is very important.
    You do get what you pay for like Nelson said. So be smart, save up and do it right the first time.
    I know you will be beating that bad boy up when she is all done anyways :D

    And there is quality work in mex too, labor rate is lower on certain things that can save alot on total cost.

    US Dollars to Pesos exchange rate right now is 1 US dollar = 13.1187 Mexican Pesos

    So 1500 US dollars will = 19678.05 Mexican Pesos... that's a lot of pesos :cookiemonster:

    Kit could be built right with shitty valving. We all see it all the time haha. Can't tell if it is quality work in those pics but it could be.
