I'm waiting on a set from Brown's Diesel. Haven't checked elsewhere yet since they had the best price and good customer service. Getting a little antsy though...
I just purchased ARP's from Thoroughbred Diesel on July 13, 2011 for $411.00 and had them in a week. Also if you are in AZ BPD in Mesa has them but they are like $540.00 I think.
Why the hell so much $$ for a set of threaded rods? Supply and demand?
They go through quite the process to be made to specification. Also, there's no direct competition to ARP; the only other stud kit is the H-11 studs which are about 50% more cost.

I've heard 6.0l PSD headstuds have been their most popular single product for a few years now.
Regardless, ARP does have excellent manufacturing techniques and quality control. Each headstud/w washer and nut is about $25. When it's put like that, you really wonder why the hell so much $$. What else can ya do?
