Founders Performance: Would you recommend them? Title says it. Stuff looks decent, prices are amazing. What do you guys think? What have your experiences been like?
Yep, bought thier rod/rod panhard bar, rod/poly rlcas, and even a STB. All are solid, excellent welds, with high-quality rod ends.
The one thing I will say is that the adjustable panhard bar does not have an adjuster nut/flat on the bar itself to aide in adjusting, but having adjusted a number of panhard bars on the car it really shouldn't be needed.
For the price, I can't see buying anything else. Honestly, I can't see how UMI/BMR/etc can compete outside of thier "extreme" parts.
So, long-story short, save some cash and buy the Founders parts. You won't be disappointed.

I bought the relocation brackets & non adjust lower control arms simply because they were lower than anythang currently out there. No complaints with quality or price!
I bought thick walled, DOM tubing, and used either Moog or Energy Suspension bushings. Hell, the bushings alone, were something like $30-35 per pair of arms.....
That's what's has made me cautious about buying anything else besides the relocation brackets ^^ we don't know how long they will hold up or what they're made of. Unlike with umi or bmr. I am still goin with a full suspension from bmr. I just couldn't pass up the founders for the brackets.
