Is it even a different photo? He must have the rights to his designs.

The web address even says Triad...and the photo is the same photo.

lol, I posted it here because many guys here use the triad... I wonder if avid is no longer going to carry them, if indeed Kurt owns his own inventions. He has the shock stand offs and pistons also, as well as a complete line of bearings....

Maybe it is 2$ more so he can pay for a better web developer? One that knows how to post prices of merchandise on said merchandise, vs. having to add it to the cart to see how overpriced everything is??

Anyways, back to topic...

His turnbuckle wrench is sweet, and works with whatever turnbuckles you guys use, BTW what is everyone using?

I believe he worked out an agreement with AVID regarding his own designs. Kurt is a great guy and I cant wait to see what else he comes out with for the car.

He designed most of the stuff we love from Avid, so I too am looking for "new" stuff from him. I understand that he needs a base set of products to get going, and he probably designed said products, but its still off putting to me. Also, I am hoping David can replace Kurt and keep the products rolling.

The existing shock collars, shock bottoms and rear hex's all work from the B4.2. A List of parts is off to Japan so look for new items soon

Oh and those are Lunsford B4.2 turnbuckles too just in case anyone had a question
