Probably also because the KO4s are becoming hard to come by too.

Default yea, but BBS LMs dropped a couple hundred on tirerack.. was $1050/ea

The new GT turbo kit will become more of a bargain if K04 prices keep going up!

Only part in the kit that is affected is the K04's... People are crazy if they pay that

Default The fueling kit portion price has remained the same.

Here is the explanation why there has been a price increase on the entire kit:

Default That being said, if supply of K04s suddenly improves from BorgWarner US

and there has been no dramatic domestic price increase, we will lower the price again.

However, given that this situation has existed for about a year, I do not see a sudden abundance of K04s happening in the near or distant future. We have absorbed several price increases due to overseas sourcing in the past, but supply has gotten extremely bad lately.

We are driven by the same market laws as any other industry. To assume that we can abitrarily increase pricing would be foolish.

Default This would be your second price increase, if memory serves me right

and the Euro has not gotten any stronger, it kicked the US dollars *** and is sitting there.

But I do understand the K04 shortage, but a K04 shortage doesn't bring the cost up, just makes it harder to get your hands on them
