Default founders performance stuff

What do you guys think about their products? I am building a street strip car and found this on ebay

http://www.ebay.com/itm/1982-2002-Ch...2131ce&vxp=mtr

Do you guys think this is a good deal? and a worthy upgrade for lowering 60ft.

why wouldnt you just buy it from their website? its cheaper there?
and i have heard nothing but good things from founders. they are cheaper than most and still have qwuality parts. My next mod package will be getting the suspension right. i will be using all founders stuff as well.

I was just on his site. I am going to order from him direct. So ebay doesn't screw him on fees to. I did a search and found the same. Do you think its worth getting the panhard rod as well? Does it make a difference and how so?

I have their lca's and phb and they are nice. I noticed the rear was more sturdy after I put them on. I'm waiting for my relo brackets to come in as we speak and can't wait to see how well ill be able to hook with those on and my new drag radials. For the price their stuff is good, when their torque arm comes out ill be getting one of those from them as well.

The relocation brackets guys... I thought the reason you would do those are to give clearance for exhaust. Is there any other benefit from the brackets other than that?

^ LCA Relocation brackets are to correct the LCA Angle. It's supposed to be parallel with the ground for optimal dig traction, but for handling, I believe they don't have to be level.. IIRC.

Their PHB was quality and helped out a lot after lowering my car. I plan on buying from them again.

Are they only used when the car is lowered?
