With the process I'm going through right now its about $550 total for everything I need from BC and then whatever it costs me to mfg. my own parts to finish the set.
You're right, it is nice to have machining, design, simulation, vehicle tuning contacts all over the world as well as my own experience that make a project like this possible. It is with a little regret I'm job hunting outside of the damper world right now but money is money and F1 (and racing in general) wasn't everything I built it up to be as a kid.
I'm hoping I can get this done and still have access to the electromagnetic dyno I do now. I can really turn this into a masters thesis if I want with a dyno like that.
