APR has finally listed the 01 stg III kit and the price increase

.
 

no **** sherlock.

I dont follow APR, what did they change to increase the price?

Didn't change a thing from what I understand...
 

Just raised the price

APR sucks

You don't follow them but they suck? They announced a few months back that due to cost increases to
 

them from their suppliers there was going to be a cost increase. They also stated there were 12 long kits 'available' that would be sold at the current price.
I don't know about you but even during this era of 'low inflation' my food, fuel, natural gas and electrical bills have risen steadily each year.

the price increase was posted a few weeks ago.

Only the numbers after the $ sign ...

That isn't quite true.
 

All the kits are now shipped with custom iconel studs in place of the ARP fasteners that were used before. In addition the studs are inserted with an ultra-high temperature ceramic thread locker that costs a bit over 8000$ /pint. So between these improved items and the cost increases from (in some cases new) some suppliers the sales price was increased.

That kit is overpriced to begin with, I dont follow them so I didntk now they were rasing cost.
