Aren't they located in Phoenix, Arizona? I work in Phoenix and if you get me an address I'll see about stopping by and checking up on them. I would like know if they are still in business. I found a used set for $200 in good shape.

they are in phoenix....don't have the address handy though, they're only 350 new so i guess 200 used is a decent deal

So + 2 wider & + 1 forward?
I thought I read that there was clearance issues with the +1 forward, tie rods hitting the shock or something.......

yep.1 inch forward.....amkes the steering stops pretty much useless so get a stabilizer unless you like the bars ripped out of your hand if you clip something with a front wheel

how can the other companies charge such outrageous prices? it takes like $40 of material and a tubing bender to make em....you could do it in your garage with a pipe bender and a tig welder and a basic understanding of metal working....
