But plastics will only save money if they have the moulds already. Shock parts as you mention would have added a production cost not reduced it, if you look at the spring cups they are the same as the sx?
Consider that plastic parts only become cost effective once a volume target is met. This is why lots of the cars out there have common components from older models in a manufacturers range.

By that logic how would any manufacturer be able to produce new kits with 90% new parts and expect to turn a profit? Besides, with the CAT SX2(big bore shocks) replacing the SX on store shelves it would have been cost effective to put the SX threaded shocks on the Cougar S1 because the tooling is already in place. It really does not matter to me because I have a spare set of SX threaded shocks I can use if I choose to get the S1.
I am just being devils advocate because I am enjoying this discussion.
