Am I missing something on the price of these?

That site says 189 for each set, front and rear.

I paid less than that for my specialty products rear kit.

What gives?

When you talking about being able to stop and/or keeping the wheels pointing correctly while remaining on the car, this goes beyond "OBX Bashing." I'd hope that anyone who was thinking about this took the parts down to a good engineering or performance shop and have some "serious" people look over the parts. It would help to have someone who does a ton of lowering on Hondas/Accords to look over the parts and make sure they at least look good/solid.

If you get bad headers, you send them back and waste some time and money. (You could still end up saving money). If you put a "funky" suspension part on and it breaks on a mountain road or the freeway, you got to think about that.

I'm serious...

Don't ever “cheap out” on brakes or suspension parts (that includes tires and wheels too)!

They change the geometry of the suspension to keep the tire and wheel upright (vertical). You are replacing some OEM parts with new parts to "compensate" for a lower ride height.

If you lower the car enough, the camber of the tire/wheel changes and causes excessive wear on the inside of the tires (front and rear).

An additional degree of negative camber (what you get when you lower the CLS below a set drop) will give you some increased "stick" in turns, but CAN also cause the inside of the tires to wear out too soon. The wear depends on percent of freeway to twisty driving and other factors (like how much the car is dropped).

Those rear arms look really fragile. I woulds rather have tire wear than that shit on my car. I'm not hatin' on OBX, but you should make sure that shit will hold up if you ever run it hard.
