Default FIGS Rear 2IS EE MEGA arm new weldment

Due to customer feedback on our pricing I went to work on a cost reduced version and this is what we came up with. A new machined end fitting that helped us reduce some weld time and machining time. Adds a little weight but reduced the price by $50. We will also be batch powdercoating the EE version to reduce the cost of PC and so we can integrate it into the price.

feedback welcomed

Would the cost of custom powder coating be unaffected by the price change?

Custom powerdercoat means me run one part in a lot vs many parts. So custom powdercoating will still require a special run and thus be more expensive. We can add other parts in to the lot like toe links etc but in the end we have been spending too much time managing the custom colors and its been hard to focus on keeping up with orders. So for now the base price will still be reduced by $50 but custom powdercoating will add $65.
Thanks Mike

Mike, in the new photo showing the weldment is the end left open on that side or is it boxed in?

Joe, the other side is a closed end, machined that way and fulled welded. So it is completely environmentally sealed.

Guys I just took off $50 permanantly and the arms are now TIG welded and powdercoating. Previously powedercoating was $45. So call it $95 cost reduction, I did this for you so there is no need for a GB, everyday price to enjoy.
