that's ridiculous that ART's wholesale prices are what they are. They give retailers like you pretty much no reason to deal with them.

I'm surprised stylintrucks gives those promo discounts on airride products. I'll bet they are making nothing if not loosing money on the deal.

As a whole though, automotive aftermarket wholesale pricing is around 10-20% which sucks for retailers. Just as a comparison, my wife deals in a fashion industry where retailers get around 50% off retail.
