Nice, just ordered the adjustable set to go along with the IRS bushings I have yet to install. I think I'll do it all at once so that I can't help but notice the difference.

First mod on my EB S550 was a set of your progressive springs and I could not be happier, a few day later I saw Steeda came out with these bushings. I decided to get more info by calling them, I talked to Patrick and he answered all my questions that I had after watching the video and reading the write-up!! I finally decided to pull the trigger on these irs diff bushing inserts, really excited to get this on the car and kiss the wheel hop goodbye;)

What would be the price of installation for the aluminum bushing system?

It would be $90 plus tax!

First let me start by saying thank you for coming up with creative solutions to Ford's lack of attention to the details (or maybe just short-sighted cost cutting) on these kind of issues.
I do have to bring up the point that the pricing seems a bit silly for some bolts and polyeurethane (or aluminum). I realize the cost involves many other factors, including research and engineering. With that said, I see about the equivalent in materials for two sets of sway bar endlink sets. Something that would cost roughly $20-40. I guess what I'm getting at is that when you approach a marketing strategy that focuses on high-margin products - it not only annoys some people, but it opens you up to competitors that will straight up copy your product then undercut you and steal your marketshare. If you had just released these at $50 a pop you very well may have doubled your sales figures, and reduced your risk to competition by not allowing for such a disparity. If I were in business to sell parts this is the kind of opening I would be looking for. Luckily I am not that businessman. I am just a bit annoyed with this trend towards making car guys forget how much things really cost.
Not trying to be a negative nancy but I just call it like it is. Carry on and keep making cool things.

I agree, but imho often when a company has a product that they feels is new or unique, they charge premium for it. This happens all the time, for whatever reason. If and when it is copied or no longer unique, then they may cut the price or offer discounts. There is also a perception of company A's quality over company B's. Then there is hubris of course. Companies fall from it. Many factors apply. Being an early adopter of anything almost always costs more. Be patient. Wait for alternatives and sales.

It takes several components to completely rid wheel hop. The IRS bushing inserts which we've sold hundreds upon hundreds of is a great first step. These diff bushing inserts inhibit the subframe from moving so violently that when grouped with other components such as the IRS inserts, vertical links and subframe support braces - all work together to play their part in wheel hop elimination. Feel free to send me a pm if you want to go over your needs and how you'll be using the car so I can put together a package best suited for you!
