Default ***price Increase***

Hello Lat-G People,

As of this Tuesday (1-27-15) I am increasing the price of the "Basic Kits" by $100.00, which now will take them up to $900.00. The "Complete kit price will remain the same at $1550.00 as an incentive to purchase the "Complete Kit".
I was hoping to have a larger interest in the product which would have allowed me to keep the price were it was at, but it seems for now the manufacturing runs will remain too small to yield me any profit and although I enjoy sharing my ideas/products,,,, I cannot do it pro bono
Hopefully you all understand. With that being said, I have sold the first available kits and will be purchasing material Monday to start (3) more. I am expecting to have these available by weeks end for those who are interested. Remember, I am still honoring the $800.00 price up until end of this Monday...

Thank you, Jay

You should be good after you have a couple kits out and they get reviews.


Hang in there man. I know what its like to double down and hold your breath.

I think so to Vince. I think the next sets will go fast. I am also having another set of alignment blocks made this round as I gear up for the shopping frenzy. That way I have two sets to loan out

Hi Jay,

I'm local to you and would consider bringing you my existing 9" rear to have you install this for me. Do you have a rough idea of install cost? I won't hold you to it, not looking for a firm estimate.

Also, If I have non-e-brake C5 Z06 rear brakes on the car now (Kore3), would your complete kit & parking brake work with my existing rear brakes?

It should work depending the the rotor that you have whether it has a shoe hat or not. This would replace your Kore# bracket and rear end flange. Caliper should work fine.

Good call Vince, didn't think about rotors having the shoe hat or not. I'll have to check on that.

Jay,

Have you considered sub-contracting a fab shop to do the installs for you? Someone you could provide the fixtures to and then could recommend or send your customers to have the ends installed? That would keep you from having to enter the fabrication end of the business, unless that is something you want to do. It would also build a dependable fabrication capability with someone who would then have experience with your product, eliminating the trial-and-error scenario with a bunch of different shops with unknown capabilities.

I can throw my hat in that ring as well. I have the necessary tooling and am far enough away from Vince that I don't think he'll be mad.
