I love the taffy, and order from ft86speedfactory often. Their prices seem reasonable to me, never really found them to be significantly higher than anywhere else. Their shipping however is insane, unless you spend $250 and get it for free. Seems like no matter what you order the shipping is $15+. This has pushed me to other vendors for smaller parts many times.
And I really don't like the 'you need people like us to tell you what to buy' argument. Most people don't spend thousands of dollars on something they don't already fully understand, and don't really require anyone to help in this regard. People go to the site knowing what they want. That's just a pet peeve of mine, when big vendors argue that as a reason why we should pay more for products to cover their massive overhead. There's nothing wrong with running a lean operation and passing those savings along to customers. It's great that some shops have race cars and 40-foot trailers, but that doesn't make me feel bad when I order from the guy down the street who doesn't have the charge me 20% more to help keep them on the road.
Of course speedfactory doesn't have higher prices to begin with, so I find it odd that they'd make that argument. They do need to do something about that shipping though imho.
