Uhm... am I missing something?

These are $1100 plus shipping?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/VW-Be...spagenameZWDVW

Isn't that double what they should cost? Maybe I've got these pieces confused???? I realize there is a lot of bling/billet but the simple versions I've seen for like $200.

That sounds too high for uni set-up . The machine work looks top notch though.

Seems much weaker than stock due to a single "bolt" acting as the spring plate!

there is no torsion bar...so you also need rear coilovers.
So that has to be figured in to your buying decision as well.

that is probably about the right price if they have been cnc machined ,remmele and mbt charge about $1700 for the kit with coilovers ,go onto the remmele site and compare the quality

This link is for the MBT CNC machined uniball setup.
Look at the seller's ID, it's Uwe himself (or someone claiming to be him)
