Truth about Porsche parts prices?

Today I was perusing the interwebs and found a video of GasMonkey garage completing a 1991 Ferrarri F40. They upgraded the suspension with custom coil overs and they say they cost $1200. WTF? My 15 year old Boxster needs them but the Bilstein's cost between 2-3k. Am I missing something? I'm pretty sure the F40 coilovers didn't come from China or ebay.

How is it that you can buy a set for a camaro for the price of a single boxster coil over?

I'm not a mechanic, but I am an engineer and I don't understand the logic. Unless it's just brand loyal logic and the real parts are somewhere under a different part number with realistic prices. Anyone?
