Alrighty sounds good. I just can't see paying twice that much for Umi or bmr if these get the job done.

I have a buddy that bought some Founders suspension parts and he was really impressed with the quality in the work and the how they fit.

Have Strut tower brace, sub frame connectors and poly/rod lower control arms. Only thing I upgraded was the rods to roto-joints, but the supplied ones were QA1 rod ends.

I asked myself this same question Months ago when buidling up the suspension in my old Z28.I ended buying a lot of slightly used parts locally but looks like their quality is right up there with UMI/BMR and I haven't heard anything negative about the company.Deff. a good size price difference compared to the other's.I would say they are a company just starting out and I will be looking at some of their stuff for my new Z

I have seen plenty of people install Founders products with no issues.. 1 guy snapped his LCA's but he had installed them incorrectly.

I bought their adj phb a while ago... fast shipping and good quality... I'd say they are the UMI or the west coast!!! My Z has all UMI, but I'm gonna use Founders on my t/a

it is actually not that expensive to make this stuff once you have them in production and have a mold. i mean if you could weld, just take some 1" DOM tubing, weld some 2" long x1.5" think pieces at the end and throw some bushings in it. they sell there stuff cheaper so they can get their stuff out there and let everyone know how good it is. once they get more rep and start making more stuff, i am sure the price will slowly make its way up there.

on a side note, i ordered an adjustable panhard rod in red, and they emailed me to let me know they needed to send it to the powdercoater cause they didnt have red in stock, and that it will ship out this monday. nice guys to deal with.
