Yes Season has first hand knowledge of the value in buying local… if he had any other multi-link on his car he would have had to buy it all over again even though he only hit one side of his car…that would translate into a loss of upwards of $900 if he had SPL or BV on his car and even more if he used Tanabe or Cusco.

I have also addressed all of Samson’s concerns, however, in the interest of professional courtesy and not revelaing the competitve secrets of other companies i will not go into detail in public.

Needless to say, there should be no concerns about R&D or the price point of the items relative to anything else on the market.

The rods look really good bing. If I hadn’t already purchased BV a while back I’d be on this for sure. Next time, I know where to go.

Hopefully one day you will rid yourself of the “copies only” reputation that you’ve managed to build Bings.ca - People will eventually realize that your Canadian Made products are another legitimate competitor in the mass marketplace alongside the [currently] bigger name products.

its a local phenomenon because people know me personally… elsewhere people talk about alot of my gear the way we talk about companies like SPL and BV. And the people near those companies talk about the owners, not the products… kind of like the people around here who need to feel important about themselves and start drama about whatever… its boring

side note, just today i was searching on some western canadian forums where they were talking about my R&D…lol

thats an interesting theory actually, and most of the retarded comments all of a sudden make sense.

the gunmetal was going to take a few days to mix and take double the time = double the cost…

red suits my logo more plus there is anothe rmajor client that uses this colour, Bicknell Racing, so i am going ot use their colour too.

cut the price in half… not sure if it will be a long term thing… we’ll see.

If it’s what I think it is, I’m pretty sure it’s a caliper relocation bracket for using different brakes. I thought he mentioned something about it on another thread I read. I could be wrong though.

When do you think those tension rods will be ready to rock? I am going to be needing some coming up. Also, how much do you think a package of all 4 of the multilinks is going to run?
