In the end the price difference is parts and the labour u pay for someone else to do the work whether u pay the kit manufacturer more to get yr kit at an early stage or maybe u are not as much hands on so u need the builder to do more work before u get it then. Price goes up a ****load
Average mechanical hourly charge rate can be from 70 bucks and hour to over 100 bucks and hour the closer u get to city heheheh
That's y I've globe back to doing mobile as I was paying rent and hardly in the shop

I also think its hard to compare prices because it's not like buying the exact same part from 100 different shops it's basically one brand per shop. So prices will vary but hard to do comparison because one brand of chassis is different to the other even though they look close
I think it will slowly get harder for some parts sellers as just like I've found a lot of inferior products from china it wil be more crucial for people to ask o forums for best parts
Cobras are not like a 3 or 4000 dollar car and where I see on other forums people buy crap
To save anew bucks they can be worth up and over 100000 bucks and u can actually save
A lot of money over that amount but I think most do opt for a part that lasts longer and costs more compared to some of the tight ass guys who work on their jap crap cars and wonder y they break down evry week heheheheheeheheehh
