That has to be a typo...

LOL, yeah, why are some of your products really over priced.

Default Colt-Speed pricing

Do a search for a strut tower bar. They can be found for ~$50 for many vehicles. Good ones at $150 for my Nissan Z I have found. Yet Colt-Speed wants $519 for their strut tower bar for Outlander.

I think the most absurd one of all is $302 for their plastic engine cover.

I don't know what those people are smoking, but somebody has to be smoking something to even think about paying those prices.

Colt Speed could sell a lot of those products, and make a lot of money if they priced the parts appropriately. But as I see it, a lot of those items will most likely remain on a warehouse shelf left priced the way they are.

As much as I want some of the parts, I've been taught not to allow someone to take you for your money, and I feel I would be getting taken by paying those prices.
Hello,

Colt-Speed Canada stands behind it’s prices. We invite you to try (and please let us know if you are able) to get Colt-Speed products delivered anywhere in Canada for less money. Our prices are competitive, you can check the websites www.colt-speed.com or www.coltspeed.co.uk or www.japanparts.com and see it for yourself.

Is it really of any importance if a strut bar made by brand x for a Nissan is cheaper than a strut bar made by Colt-Speed for a Mitsubishi? Does that company make a tower bar for the RVR? Does the “unbelievable” company make bonnet dampers for the RVR?

Colt-Speed Canada should be very concerned if Canadians could get Genuine Colt-Speed Products in Canada, delivered anywhere in Canada, duties/freight included for less.

Granted, there are companies out there that make air intakes for the EVOX, but do they make one for the RVR? Or the Outlander? Is the carbon fibre heat shield hand crafted in Japan with GruppeM components? What other Japanese company focuses so intensely on one manufacturer? Please answer these questions if you can!

Ralliart (was) a company that focused so intensely and exclusively on Mitsubishi vehicles. Does Ralliart sell lowering springs for the RVR? What about the Outlander? What about a 6 piston front, 4 piston rear caliper, stainless steel brake lines, full hardware, full brake set for the Outlander? No. Colt-Speed does. Could you get a cheaper brake kit for a Nissan? Really, who cares? Was this not the Mitsubishi forum?!

Again, please look at pricing for Colt-Speed products in Japan for comparison. Please do not compare the prices for Rancho springs for your Ford Bronco when we are dealing with the Mitsubishi RVR.

We have heard feedback that the Colt-Speed engine cover is one of the best made and one of the most attractive (while being highly functional) engine covers on the market (btw it is made of aluminum and not plastic!). If you can get the cheap one for the ‘Vette to fit on your RVR (not recommended, even with duct-tape) then good luck with that. If it’s less expensive, but of no use to you, then of what use is that?

Matt M, we felt that some of your comments were inappropriate. (“…those people [Colt-Speed Canada Team] are smoking something…” implies that the Colt-Speed Canada Team was not in full control of it’s mental thinking faculty and were by extension using flawed judgment when calculating their pricing or when conducting their business practices – this type of comment we do not appreciate and will not tolerate. As for the comment “…somebody has to be smoking something to even think about paying those prices…” is in effect saying that all Colt-Speed customers, whether they be in Japan, the U.S.A. or Canada must be on the influence of drugs to choose to purchase Colt-Speed products. The staff at Colt-Speed Canada has taken offence to this remark, and views it as inappropriate.

Moving along though, if the springs are “just springs” then they should be in a Wal-Mart or other store close to you at a bargain basement blowout price.

If you have a difficult time finding Colt-Speed lowering springs for your RVR (irrelevant at this time about Nissan or Corvette components, as we are pretty sure that they are not designed for the RVR), and you would still like to purchase lowering springs for your RVR, then by all means contact us. If you can get Colt-Speed products delivered in your hands to your address in Canada for less than Colt-Speed Canada’s prices, we will beat that price. If you can get a Nissan tower bar for your Nissan for less than a Colt-Speed tower bar (which again, most likely will not fit-perhaps other members can double-check this) then please go purchase the Nissan bar. (It might not do you much good if you want one for your RVR). In the future, kindly compare apples to apples. Colt-Speed components design, testing, fit and finish is top quality on the market.

If you want cheap, China may be making some knock-off parts soon, but there are no guarantees on that. In the meantime, we thought we’d give Canadians a chance to get, in our opinion, some of the best aftermarket parts for their Mitsubishi vehicles, whether it be the EVOIV-X, the RVR or the Outlander.

As for discounts, Colt-Speed Canada is offering 10% off for forum members. Pick-up price is the same. We also offer some discounts on certain items, so please check our website occasionally.

Hopefully this clarifies matters, and we thank all for their comments. Inappropriate or rude comments however, are not appreciated.

Colt Speed,

Thanks for the reply. I see some products from Colts Japan have, however, you don't have on the Canadian Website, ie. Fog Lamp HIDS.

Do you know what kind of bulb the Fog Lamp housing takes? According to the Colt Speed Japan website, it appears to be H11 bulbs. Can you please confirm.

Also, +1 on Colt Speed's reply regarding their pricing. Don't need to start bashing the company's product and/or their employees because of their pricing. If you don't agree with the pricing, don't buy it. No comments needed. And of course, positive comments are always welcome!

Thanks

Colt guys, I have to agree, the prices are a bit outrageous. Looking at the Outlander products, there are only two properties of the part you are providing your customer...an image and a price. After looking at the price, I think the message of quality is lost once the price tag is seen. There is no description of the product. There is nothing to convey how much performance we are to gain from purchasing the product. What makes your stamped sheet of aluminum, painted red, going to do for my engine performance to justify $300? Same goes for the strut tower bar, when a regular outlander already comes with one? Explain how your "ram air" intake actually gets air rammed into it from a closed sealed hood (excluding the grill where the production intake already gets air)?

It is one thing to develop parts for a car and throw prices on a web page...it is another thing to actually sell the part. A photo and a high price tag is not selling a product.

I'd also like to throw something else out. Identify parts that normally aren't in replacement parts yet. I'm getting creaks in my front suspension already. If it is ball joints, I have two options: Dorman or OEM. I've heard way too many bad things about Dorman engine and suspension products...and stealerships will rob you, but at least you know the product is what was used during assembly, so it must be at least decent. Struts are another clincher...KYB is the only manufacturer of struts for the Outlander, else you go to the stealership. But even if you do develop the part, you still have to sell the product. I'll be honest, before you came to this forum, I've never heard of you. I need some stats and specs on the products before I'm going to lay down the bank you are asking.
