A surprise: many OEM parts for our Honda FIT are shockingly expensive..

Take a look at #7, it's 250 dollars for one of the front dampers. It's pretty insane if there are no aftermarket alternatives for some parts.

I'm aware that the Fit is a lower volume car (vs. the Corolla for example) but why are some parts so much more expensive than others?

$400 for a factory caliper!!

Luckily there are many aftermarket choices priced around 60 to 100 dollars!

I'm coming from a Corolla where everything is cheap, I've been spoiled!
