Anybody used them lately?

I have a sponsorship offer with them and I won't use stuff I don't believe in.

So, are they worth supporting or should I pass?

A guy here has that front out of that kit. He had to fab quiet a bit to get it on, as well as redo some of the welds.

O......not good.

That is exactly why I posted this though, trying to find out as much as I can before I jump on board.

It does matter, because if I am going to be going out and promoting for them then I want it to be high quality stuff. The last thing I want is to promote something that is crap. I actually dropped one full sponsor when the stuff they sent me was all crap....lol

It's not a full sponsorship anyway, just a very deep discount.

I don't know man, i haven't heard good or bag about them. Their website looks like crap but that doesn't mean their company is. Depends on how much $$$ it's going to cost to make their kit fit, in the end it might be the same if not more than other bolt-on options out there.

Are you f'ing kidding me?! And a "deep discount" is not a sponsorship. Aim/Chassis Tech couldn't pay me enough to put their parts on one of my vehicles.

At least not until Joe Morrow was gone, they moved all of their manufacturing facilities to the states, reintroduced quality control into their production lines, and quit with their underhanded ad campaigns.

There is no less respected company in the custom automotive world.

There are such things as partial sponsorships but thanks for your opinion.

a local member got major tire thread eaten on the inside for the front ones. plus this plus that plus it got damaged, plus they didnt ship all the parts in the same box and his 1 week vacation to install the kit was pointless. well just a heads up.

I wouldn't even consider it a "partial sponsorship." I have gotten deep discounts on several parts on my truck, and have yet to see sponsor one. I run no stickers and promote no products. If I like a particular product that I have, or have had in the past I will tell people. But I have never done so in exchange for free product, and will never do so for "cheaper" product. Especially not from the shadiest company in the industry.

all of this and your first post could have been summed up with the word NO to save the 40 seconds of my life I spent reading your long autobiagraphy

I say no, and thumbs up for not just doing it for the discounts and actually taking some heart into it frankenstein ;-)

If you don't like what I have to say in my posts, use your freedom of choice and choose not to read them.

its so hard when all you do is endless rambling about stretched tires killing people, your sponsorship choices that don't adhere to the question asked, how much better bags are then coilovers etc etc...

as my sig states, I'm not getting into it with you, this is my last post on this topic, so don't bother justifying yourself and taking up more space on this post that has nothing to do with this topic, I care not what you have to say about me, or think about me, as you should the same.

(look mods...no cussing...SO HOW ABOUT WE DON'T WARN ME AGAIN THIS TIME!!!)

-Thank You

Looks like the no's are winning.....lol.

I guess I'll just piece a kit together, probably be for the best anyway.

And thanks for the thumbs up Wayne.

You should franken, it's easier and will be a lot cheaper in the end, check my thread if u haven't already. (I have my rear done right now for around $700, for the front i just need the ES air struts - $487, 4 valves - $120~, another dual needle gauge - $30, wiring, fittings). I'm real happy with the FBI setup right now.

Clay (krazylowgsx) has made me a list, I'll probably go buy that. He has done quite a bit of trial and error to get his where they are so I don't have to......lol.

Thanks Kyle.

I'll probably be holding off on air ride now anyway. I got another project that is going to take a big chunk of money starting next week.

Plus the kids need braces.

It sure is fun trying to put words in people's mouths isn't it?
