Oh and I think you need the language pack for pics to work.

You didn't think RS, marz and fox all did thier own castings, did you?
Casting a part like a one piece fork lower is very difficult. Like a lot of other difficult processes, only a few companies have figured out how to do it.

Yes, I'd like to order 3 Fox 40 lowers and 2 steering wheels. 
fakes!
Hmmm, I wonder if I can order a 20mm axle lower to suit 30mm stanchion fork, I need to replace my (borked) 02 SuperT lowers 
Actually, Brian P. said that Marz does their own in-house castings. Manitou does their own in-house castings.buildyourown said:
No idea about Fox, though.
If you go to the site and right click to save the fox fork lowers it actually says :

That catalogue sure makes it look like they are all done by the same house.
Sure does. However:buildyourown said:

That was specifically in reference to the 888, though. Maybe they outsource some of their other castings?
Looks like there are some old RS Judy lowers in there too.
I'd guess alot of the OEM gear, ie DropOff and MZ forks.DßR said:

Interesting! Good find. 
Ok, so we now know that the lowers aren't costing Fox a lot of money, so where's the ~$1600 MSRP coming from, other than greed?

Who said they were cheap? Just cause they are made by a Tainese casting house doesn't mean they're cheap.
I just got my Fox fork on Tuesday. Judging by all the nice machined parts versus the competitions cheap plastic parts, I think the fork is worth an extra $200-$300
