BTW, to save from posting in the other thread: the intake is only about $315 right now, not $500
Oh $500 including installation was what I meant.

thanks for the post, the drop is still high. Is the F-Sport suspension adjustable?

The mark up on those aftermarkets are just out of this world. $2248 for the exhaust....$1426 for intake system?

Thats almost 4 times mark up from Tanabe, and 7-8 times markup from any after market intake.

i was thinking about getting the air intake for my 250, but not at $1400.
i found this in the f-sport threads. "air intake... MSRP: $455, part # PTR03-53080."

im not sure where the $1400 came from?
do you guys think it is worth it at $455?
