Its pretty obvious that this thread was made to see the forums reaction to the product they were introducing to the market. So is it wrong of me to assume and discuss why its bad if it was going to be that much? None of us knew that Perrin would drop the price so much. For all we know that they were gauging how we would react to pricing that they suggested and acted accordingly on that. Have you thought maybe if everyone was fine with it being at 200 that they possibly could of set it at 190 - 200 for that tube? Obviously you didnt because vendors on these forums post to get opinions from members like us to see how we would react. And if everyone OK with how they were planning to price it at then why wouldnt they do that if no one disagreed. Vendors post on these forums to provide us with updates and to receive feedback on their products. Otherwise they cant get our opinions on things like this.

Just because I said its over priced I guess I am a troll huh. Nothing wrong with a wall of text if you dont like it dont read it. No one ever said we cant speak up on something we dont like. And I just didnt happen to like the price. If I am going to quote multiple posters. I will do that. I can type fast and that did not take long to type out. And like another member said its a review post. I love Perrins products dont get me wrong but if I see something I dont like then I will say it. No ones forcing you to read my posts if you dont like it then ignore me. Before they listed the sale price they said around 200 dollars and none of us knew that they would of adjusted the price that much. So quit acting like it was that big of a deal.

If people talk negative about a product they are listed as a troll or a bad member. It happens all over these forums people like you really need to get over it. If someone is going to say anything negative about a product they shouldnt get lit up for it. Cause it happens ALL the time on these forums if you havent noticed. Especially for products that should have bad reviews and then those posters who say anything bad will get flamed by idiots like you who seem to get butt hurt over a wall of text. If you dont like me then add me to your ignore list just like what I did to Joe Boxer cause for all care you can kiss my ass. And BTW my monitor is on a 42 inch TV so a wall of text might look just like a small paragraph to me when to you guys it could be huge. Honestly Idgaf. Dont like it? Dont read it.


And @PERRIN_Jeff Thank you for that beautiful explanation. I am sure it answers a lot of peoples questions about this and glad that it is priced to be more competitive with the other similar parts on the market.
i skipped ahead and saw that part. so i heeded your words and didnt read it.

Have to admit, it's a very valid point about the pricing. It was to gauge reactions.

Why does it even matter? They have released the price and it is reasonable. Oh no they put something out there to test the market what a tragedy...

i'm not sure about that. it's obvious there are similar products out there and Perrin would have taken that into account to finalise the price.

BUT when you don't have the final price ready and you must pull a figure out, you'd usually quote a higher figure as it's much harder to explain a price rise than a price drop.

I paid $338 with shipping for the front and rear strut tower bar. Pretty good deal to me

So even at $200, we feel our part is better than the rest for a few reasons, but at $142.99, its really hard to argue why to buy any other BRZ inlet hose. We didn't just copy the OEM part, we made it better in every way we could!

So to be clear, this part will be for sale for $142.99 when its released.
That doens't include our sales we run once and a while or what a dealer might offer it to you in a package!

My money you must take it now please.
