Am I right or wrong...? - F-Body Road Racing and Autocross Forums

Since I bought a Miata I've had to buy some parts. I did the mandatory shock and spring combo and in the process needed a couple control arms. I looked at a popular Miata shop and they sell 2 lower control arms with poly bushings for $700 or a set of 8 for $1795 ($225 each). Needless to say I bought stock parts for way, way, way less. After reading a thread hyping these control arms I posted pricing for comparable control arms for the fbody sold as sets of 2 for less than $400 as a reference and stated that $700 for 2 wasn't IMO realistic pricing. Well, 2 posters starting giving me sh-t. Do I deserve crap for pointing out a less than stellar deal?

BTW, this does make me realize that fbody guys have some very good vendor choices.
