I need to have everyone that made a deposit for a sub-frame send me a private message with their name.

Please respond quickly as this is necessary so that Rick and I can reconcile our lists.

Doc,
Don't push your luck; $250 is a fantastic price! Just be grateful you got in on this group buy because I can guarantee you the price on an ATI sub-frame will never be this low again. Just yesterday, Rick told me that they aren't making any profit on the sub-frame at $250 each.

I already have, and hopefully ATI will soon have some additional offerings for the Contour.

Doc,
Are you looking for front or rear control arms?

Don't know what docfeelgood111 wants, but I would love to see aftermarket front control arms with replaceable bushings. Polyurethane (or equivalent) bushings preferred.
Anyone with a lowered Contour is a potential customer. The stock control arms with bonded rubber bushings have absolutely miserable service life with lowered contours. The extra stress wears out the bushings very rapidly (depending on driving style) and the bushings are not replaceable. I am on my second set of replacement front control arms and I am sure there are many on this board who�ve worn out more than that.
ATI would have to take into account the two different designs of control arms used. I have the earlier type, but there may be more demmand for the later design used on SVTs.
Good potential market for such a product. Even a significantly higher than stock cost could be justified, based on the fact that in the future the buyer would only need purchase bushings, not the whole arm as is the case now with stock Ford parts.
