Gotta love the bearing part numbers. I remember when TC was selling chrome uniballs standard and up-charging for stainless FK's. They gave me "racer discount" for stainless because my chrome ones only lasted 7 months. Got the FK part number off them then Googled it and found out "racer discount" was still like getting bent over. Started a thread warning others in snow belt not to buy them w/chrome balls then posted the link to the stainless balls that were super cheap and a year later TC swapped to stainless as standard.
Whats good for you desert guys sometimes doesn't work so good over here in the swamps/saltbelt.

- They do use that line quite a bit! 'Racer Discount' means, "Guys that race spend a LOT of money on parts so they must not need a discount!" Sad. I do like the peeps at TC though.

I completely understand their pricing because I run my dept at work the same way. They/we are good at what they/we do and charge accordingly. People like you and me don't need our hands held so we see no need to spend extra money while others need their customer/tech service. They should pay more because they drain resources more.
