stylin concepts sucks
« on: August 08, 2007, 12:14:35 am »
they sent me my shipping conformation that my stuff was shipped 7/24 (5/5 lowering kit)

got an email today (8/6) that they are backordered, so they basically said my stuff didnt ever ship

along with the fact when i checked it's tracking, it said it will be in january 11'th 1970?ż

anyways were does everyone else get their lowering stuff from, airbagit.com?

All I can say is DO NOT use Sport Truck Direct.  They'll rip you off, and don't know as much as they think.

I get my stuff from local speed shops or SECO performance. I did order from Stylin Concepts, they sent me 1" dropped springs when I ordered 2". Combined with my lowered spindles I had a 3.5" drop. Not the 4.5" I ordered, the tape measure dont lie. After dealing with Stylin' I cut my stock springs and ended up with a 5.5" drop, I liked it better that way anyway. Dealing with Air Ride Tech on the phone is great, they are very helpful, don't approach them at a show. 2 Good Guys shows in Nashville I approached a very bored looking booth sitter and asked a couple questions, no help at all. Street Beat Customs however was real helpful, and they sell Air Ride Tech stuff much cheaper. My next project I will get my stuff from Street Beat.

My 3/5 kit came from Summit for about 250 bucks total. Ground Force 3" springs up front and Ground Force shackle/hanger kit in the rear. Came out nice.

stylin concepts does stink! I used AIM Industries this time. www.AIMIND.com but remember you get what you pay for, they are by far the best priced company that I have found, but as with usually all projects, their parts usually need some TLC.

You must have not shopped around much then.  Their customer service is lacking and their reputation reflects that.  Don't get me wrong, I have bought stuff from them and will probably do it in the future, but they are by far not the best.

but remember you get what you pay for,

I did a ton of research and this is what I ended up with:

Tubular Upper and Lower Control Arms w/ bushings
Shocks w/ relocation kit
Universal 4 Link Kit w/ bushings
FBSS Air Bag Kit (complete w/ bags, bag mounts, air lines, fittings, solenoids, switches, gauges, compressor, air tank, etc...)

All for under 1,400.00 USD.

Let me know where I can get it cheaper for my next project and I will, granted this is not high quality equipment, but I was looking for price not quality on my first bagged project.
