They are not cheap by any means.....

TUBULAR FRONT SUB FRAME AKA "K MEMBER" | fcsrace


Many companies make them for Camaros and mustangs and they are bigger and only a few hundred dollars, wonder why one for a Honda is triple the price?

Supply and demand my friend....and the honda world has its tuner by the ***** for "specialty" parts.

Cams are $700 on average for a Bvtec

I bought a full roller cam setup w/ lifters, springs, retainers, for my 383 SBC for $750....quality stuff too. $750 on cams and VT in a honda head (assuming all new)

Really though, I bought a set of JE pistons for the wife's engine and they were 650 for the set of four. I bought a set for my LS3 and got 8 for the same price.....lol.

All it takes is one person to step up and make enough of them to make it cheap. They have to be willing to risk that people will actually buy them though.

Which is true, except 75%+ of the honda community is filled with scumbag, lowlife, thief punk *** kids that don't have money, jobs, or any sort of drive/standards to live by. They steal and buy the cheapest **** available to get hella flush JDM ridez. There is a difference in a budget builder, and a cheap builder. 75%+ of the honda community is cheap and broke....not budget minded.
