I would say, it's probably safe to budget 2200-3200 for a full set.
That's just a guess. If they'll sell the inserts without housings, it might be on the lower end. If not, figure $550 per corner plus springs, ears/tabs, top mounts, machining and welding. Maybe a 1000-1500. So I guess that'd make the high at $3700?

I should call him anyway. Just hate talking on the phone

It gives answers a lot quicker than typing.

The price difference depends on the price for inserts and springs.

We'll just have to wait, everybody is curious....inquiries have been made, awaiting answers.

Ok thanks john keep us posted

The one rule requiring a full (real) name wouldn't be a bother to a spy. They don't operate with real names anyway. (I'd tell you how I know that but I'd have to kill you after)

Since everyone seems to be more intrested in my full name rather than the topic of this thread...there its is for all you cry babys haha

Let me be first to welcome Greg Stary Kurva, or is that Stary Biku?

Speaking of which, there was a "huge" grow-op bust in Nausea, NH, last week. 500 plants are apparently worth $2.9 million.

No need for the 'tude, dude.
You got of relatively easy. I've seen some first time nameless posters get devoured by wolves. Your saving grace was probably calling attention to a JVAB product in development.

If they're selling them by the 1/8th or dime bag.
Medical marijuana has made it cheap in Colorado. We get to see lots of ads in weekly periodicals. Ounces for $200.
On average, I think most are about a pound per plant so that's 500 pounds. So they probably calculated that based on NYC prices of an 1/8th for $45 or so?
I know a few people that own and run dispensary's or grow ops. Pretty decent business if you don't fear the feds.

Way high John?
$550 per insert = $2200.
$50 per top mount = $200
$70 per spring = $280
So we're at $2680 and still need to spring seats, machining of the pin, and design and welding of the ears.
Of course, IF Bilstein will sell the insert seperately and you have those housings you talked about you will probably be able to do that cheaper but WAY high? And if Bilstein has 100 inserts and 100 housings and people interested in buying them as they are, why would the pull the insert and be stuck with the housings?

Oi Oi Oi.
Sorry but I've been working on a language just to the east a little bit, just other side of Ukranie! Only can read a little bit.
Swedish is OK though. and my friend here who taught me 'hej stary biku ' we speak Swedish together. He is architect and from Warsawv and one year he went to teach a summer course in Danmark, and met a Swedish girl there and visited for about 2 week and learned Swedish shockingly good.
Like me he speaks OK German, French and Swedish/Danish (they are very very close), nobody here knows what the hell we're speaking when we're together....
When I ask him why its dzien dobry po polsku and not dobry dan or den he said it is said 'backwards' "just to piss off everybody, we're good at that"

No problem, that's only $5800 per plant, so if it was a indoor under the llights Banzai set up, you can count on maybe 20-35 grams per plant of good marketable bud. 27 grams to one ounce. Yeah that's about right...$5000/ounce...

Obviously the snoooze-papers like reprinting DEA press releases, so it must be true.

So, a set of these should be less than 1 plant @ DEA Prices right? Can we pay in plants?

The problem is the same as when I was a farmer: I can't pay the mortage or buy steel or pay machine shop bills or the anodizing place with Spliff-a-juana.
I really wasn't a smoker then and I hain't now so won't do me any good.

Gotta be real Amerikanskij valuta.
