And yes, I too think the kit it far too expensive for what it is, I could machine those parts myself if I had one to copy ! I understand the work that went into providing their kit but given the numbers they sell I think it’s a bit pricey.
Haha, I'm sure they know exactly how many people will have the same line of thinking about the invasiveness of replacing the bushings, plus they are probably aware of the general aversion towards having the expensive dealership service dept do the installation.

They also had to figure out how to get most of the advantages without the install complexity when developing their kit. Smart application of the 80-20 rule, I say more power to them, because while the kit ain't cheap, they aren't gouging either.
