$15,000 Coilovers

but would it really call for 15k parts, to do what some 2k parts could do with the setup of the right components?
especially if both parts do exactly what they were designed to do, and could be adjusted to fit well with the other components to do as well as a top notch race car performance parts?

The answer to that question rests with the team, their budget, and more importantly which one their car works better with irregardless of price.

You have this 15K number in your head like its the greatest thing in the world. Alms race teams could be looking at numbers that go $50K+.

You have a street car mind frame to this. No one in their right mind would drive $15,000 coilovers on a daily driver. There's no need to.

i mean, if you buy a high-dollar car, i would understand the usage of 15k for the parts. but not many people actually build a street car with parts that are anywhere near the range of the typical "race" or "track" car. well, at least nothing that the average person would build.

And that is most certianly why these are not for the average person. I'd give a strange look to a person that is on a beginner budget buying these. Most times, race teams have suspension engineers from the manufactuer on site to help set up the part.

Again, think about the people that need to win. You also said earlier how a 15K part is silimlar to a 2k part. It is in ways and different in others. Many times the 15K comes from what the actual tech is worth and not the part itself. I would not be surprised if i heard the parts selling for 15K and the part being worth north of 20K and being sold at a loss just to get the part on the track.

(For that explanation, dont specifically think about the part from the OP.)

on the side note, how many people actually build a full, all out, race cars to compete with to a point where 15k suspension would be needed?

So few that this past winter, the economy dropped many championship winning teams from their series.

Racing is for the boys that want to play and pay hard for it. Don't forget that to get above the grassroots level as a driver, YOU ARE PAYING FOR YOUR SEAT.

An extreme example could be Jenson Button giving half his salery to Brawn GP this year to have a better chance at this years championship.

i mean NASCAR or the Formula 1 races, thats a completely different story, so i would know the 15k parts would be need to fit with the whole setup of the car. but i'm not talking about those type of cars, just your average, everyday nissan/honda and possible even some porsches.

As i said earlier. street cars that see the track every once in awhile don't need to have 15K parts.

The only times it matters is in a professional series with professional competition.

For the last time, those of us justifing 15K parts are not justifing the set in the op but we know the costs of building a top level competition car/bike.
