You have to think about production / labor cost.
The OEM part is cheaper because they are most likely mass produced by machine.
This is a custom parts most likely to be made by hand so you're paying more for the man hours involved with making a custom part.
Unfortunately the reality is that there is not enough demand for these to warrant the kind of mass production needed for basement bargain prices. (Unless they decided to have a manufacturer in china replicate their final produce for them.)
I guess what I'm trying to say is.... No.. I probably couldn't justify the $300 price tag but that's because I don't track my car. Otherwise I consider $300 a fair price for a custom X-Brace setup if I felt the need to maximize my suspension setup.
