Why Most Ford Dealers do not Sell Frpp Parts.
Every Couple Of Days I get Asked to Quote a FRPP Or Ford Racing Products part. I have been Wanting to Post on Why I am Not a Ford Racing Dealer.
Quite Simply There is no Profit in it and it is a hassle. Any Dealer can Buy Frpp and Get a whopping 7% Off on say a Mustang Cai Kit. Whoo Hoo! Add In Backorders and Poorly Packaged Merchandise which comes in beat up and What is the Point. Why Bother. In Order to Get a Better Break a Dealer Needs To Put in an Initial order of $20k and Then Purchase 35k Annually. Any order under $1500.00 Is Subject to Shipping charges and So on. If you Search the web you will find Mega Dealers and Places Like Jegs and Summit Selling FRPP parts At Approx Cost+10%. Why? Because they have to Move the Stuff to Meet their Annual Buy Quota. It is a vicious cycle. Now if FORD would Offer their Car Dealers which is their Bread and Butter a decent Discount you would see FRPP Parts at a Lot more Dealers. Anybody can Find on the web FRPP Parts Cheaper Than a regular Ford Dealer can Purchase Direct From FRPP. Something is Very Wrong here. There are More Issues Involved but I think you get the Jist of it. The Only Reason I list any FRPP Parts on my Hotsheets BTW is For my export customers who need the parts and can't Find anyone to Ship to Them. FRPP needs to Rethink Their Pricing and Thier Relationship with what could be their Best Customer. The Local Ford Dealer.

$35K, Shoot, sell to five of us and we'll have you covered!
I have an FRPP suspension w/Strut Tower Brace and wouldn't mind a set of Stingers, so you would have me for at least $1500! And that's just my car, not to mention my wife's!
Just kidding around with you.
