    end of an era, made my last set of roller spring perches today

    To be more accurate I made 5 sets. I had a sale for one set and wanted to finish out my inventory of cores. I have been making them for about 20 years and estimate I made between 500 and 1000 pairs of them. Not sad to see this product line coming to an end. Sales of them have declined and they are extremely labor intensive, which was fine when I was younger but not worth the effort now that I am not young anymore. DazeCars is still going strong and I will continue to sell my other products. Thanks to everyone that purchased roller perches from me over the years!!

    That's a good reason to end their production. Glad I grabbed a set.

    Thanks Daze, I put one of your DIY kits on my car back in the early days of the roller perches along with your Arning drop template. One of the best mods I've ever done to my Mustang.
    Best wishes on continuing success.

    Good, fast or cheap. Pick any two...

    Money can't buy happiness. Butt it can buy Car Parts... and that is pretty much the same thing.67 FastBack

    Are people going with coilovers or just less Mustangs being restored because of a lot less of them out there?

    While both of things are factors the bigger issue for me is the death of forums.  When I started selling parts in 2004 there were 5 or 6 very active Mustang forums and people would recommend my products.  This created tons of links on the internet that could be found with a google search.  With forums going away those like have also gone away and so leading up to 2020 there was a huge decrease in the traffic to my website.  Now with my YouTube channel pointing people to my web site sales and traffic have come back up to what they once were, but the roller perches are a pain to make so it is no longer worth it for me to make them.
