Be sure to shop around for pricing.
I bought a bunch of parts for my '65 Chevy from LMC before Christmas. I competitively checked prices on all of the items before placing the order except for the rear coil springs. The springs were $170.
When I got the parts the springs had a "CPP" Classic Performance Products sticker on them. I looked them up on the internet, the springs were $100.00
A $70 mark-up by LMC? What the ?@#!!
I called them, informed them of the 70% mark-up and asked them what they could do to make it right? The gal snapped back "we don't do price matching!".
I sent the coil springs back to LMC and bought them from CPP.
Even though I had to eat the shipping charges I still recouped some of my losses.
Now I fully understand that this is my bad, I should have checked around. But I still feel that LMC is price gouging on this item. There are a lot of other options for pieces parts; you can bet I won't pick LMC as my first choice in the future.
I also bought as rear roll pan. It is made in Taiwan :mad: and I am in the process of modifying it to get it to fit.
I miss the days when you could go own to the local parts store or speed shop and get your parts from a friendly familiar face.
But then again I guess I am just "Old School".
