Alright guys,
I've looked at a few posts from people who would rather see the introduction of the Tubular Lower Control Arms rather than the brakes. I tend to agree, so we're going to do the LCA's instead of the Brake kits.
Now, the LCA's for the Contour/Cougar are pretty flimsy and the installation of tubular steel in place of the flimsy stamped steel should eliminate most of, if not all, the wheel hop problems. However, these are not going to be as cheap as we would have liked.
Now you tell me how much you'd be willing to pay for the set and I'll let you know what we can do.
Also, if anyone has a spare set of both the 2-Bolt and 4-Bolt LCA's they'd be willing to let us borrow or buy let me know.
The bottom line is how much would you be willing to pay?
--Adam

I think this is kind of a bad question. If you ask these poeple, they're going to want to pay Honda Civic and Ford Mustang pricing for these. For reference, Maximum Motorsports LCA's for a 94-04 Mustang sell for $349.99 at Brothers Performance.
As for myself, I want them, because I have to change out mine because the bushings are all worn out. I'm willing to pay, as long as it's nothing ridiculous. Set your price, since I was about to purchase a pair of stock arms.
Will these LCA's have polyurethane bushings and zerk fittings to grease them as needed?

Please....keep dreaming my friend 
Look these are going to be more than stock parts, come one the materials alone will probably cast about that much, then the time taken to actually make the product has to be tacked on.
Okay the introductory price will be between $475-$500 for the set IF 15 kits are sold. Now, that's pretty pricey I know, but I can't go any lower as the manufacturer won't go any lower.

Yeah, I kinda figured that would be the case, but I figured it was worth a shot.
These are going to be fitted with Heim Joints and powdercoated Red or Black.

I just did the Math and $499 for the pair is only $50 more than the stock replacement parts would cost you guys.

Will these have poly inserts instead of that crap in the stockers? I'm glad I can get discounts. Both my lower control arms for 70$. From the stealership!

And these haven't even been R&D, manf., tested etc!  You make them we will come. No way I'd but up any $ up front after seeing the Andy's group buy. Haven't even heard from any one on this site that bought from this company. Everything on the Gforce site is stuff anyone can get any where.
