Penske Coilovers from Jegs

[KBBOSS1086]

Has anyone seen these Penske's for sale on Jegs? I've been looking at them for over a year and can't figure this out. The rear 7500's are much cheaper than I've seen elsewhere at $570 each. That's $1140 a set. You won't get the specific Mustang service and expertise with Jeg's that you'll get from other specialist retailers (I will use Cortex as an example), but the price difference is rather significant. Strictly for price comparison, the rear 7500's are $1790 on Cortex's site). The ones from Jegs don't come with springs, while I believe they are included in the price with Cortex, but that's just another $150 - taking the total to $1290. Other than the service and expertise, does anyone know of a reason not to purchase them (at least the rears) from Jegs?

I believe the Cortex rear coilover kits, like the Griggs racing kits, come with upper and lower custom mounting brackets which when added probably would get you close in price.

Thats correct. My CorteX/JRI dampers came with springs and the mounting hardware. The mounting hardware is very important to spread the load properly. JR the owner of JRi used to work at Penske before starting his own business.

CorteX uses a different lower mount too. Look at the photos on their website by clicking their ad above. I also posted photos in the CorteX group buy thread.
