Never heard that. I thought they stopped making them because no one bought them.

I called those guys a few years ago about those things.

I was told about $900 shipped for knuckles,trailing arms.


Not at all worth it in my opinon.

Ridiculous. The ST ones were drop forks and rear LCAs. I think maybe half that?

I've seen people ask $600 for the pro-arms and the forks. But I really don't see people faling over themsleves to buy it.
People do still run the forks though.


In fairness to the company, a lot more goes into making these parts, then the ST stuff.


I would finally like to see someone buy these parts just to see if they even fit right.
There has been threads in the past talking about fittment issues.

There's a lot more into the RYANE pieces than drop forks. If ST was charging half of that for the drop forks and adjustable LCAs I'd say their pricing was ridiculous.

That's kind of obvious.

Huh? I don't get your reasoning. If not as much went into drop forks and LCAs (whatever that means) why would the price need to be higher so as NOT to be ridiculous?
