M-3000 zx3 kit would be $405.06 fully unassembled. Also it would require $140.00 in bushings and brkts and also a new rear sub frame assembly at $260.00
The M-3000-zx3a kit they said comes assembled at $470.16, but has no rear sway bar which is another $228.00 plus the bushings and sub frame $400.
What pisses me off is their website states $305.00. False advertisement.
I checked out Summit and with shipping it was +$420.00... so they're out of the picture.
Just for clarification:
The M-3000-ZX3 kit includes the rear sway bar but the front springs are not assembled to the struts, which usually requires a spring compressor to do it. Ford Racing's retail price in the US is 305.00 USD. A Canadian dealership should not be quoting that price. Dixie Ford for example quotes the Canadian equivalent, plus a "shipping" charge to reimburse their cost of importing the kit from the US.
The M-3000-ZX3A does not include the sway bar, but does include the front springs pre-assembled onto the struts; a major convenience for do-it-yourselfers who do not have a spring compressor. Ford Racing's retail for this kit is 350.00 USD.
