I've used their disc conversion bracket kits and sway bars...only problem I had was when they were relocating their facility. Had a mix-up in bearings and a phone call corrected the problem immediately. They sent me the correct set and told me to keep the much more expensive set they had sent by mistake. The fit and finish of the products I have used, was good as were their installation instructions.

Would have no problem using them again.

I'm sure I'll get flamed for this but you should know...

I bought their complete power front disc brake conversion and found no end to the problems from poorly written instructions to defective parts and parts that had to be modified to fit. My mechanic has 30 years experience building race cars and hot rods and his conclusion is that this is not something that the average Joe should tackle.

Phone support was spotty and written complaints have gone unanswered.

PM me for a copy of the letter I sent them which details every problem we had.

I,ve used them with no problems but after reading Woody,s experience I would be a little sceptical.


They say money can't buy happiness. It can buy old Chevy trucks though. Same thing.

Their catalogue is great and the showroom is a total candy store, however since there are so many suppliers in So Cal I have not bought anything from them as I can beat their prices elsewhere.

Thanks for your replies, it seems that most of the feed back is positive, the reason I was asking is that there was a mix up with my order from them, they sent a wrong part and now have to send it back for exchange, all this is positive. What has me wondering is the quality of thier parts, I bought the grand slam package with the brake upgrades and have noticed that they were made in China and I thought that thier parts were all made in the United States
