Alston Racing

After about a year of reading about different SFC's I decided on the ones from Alston. Since I live in northern Illinois I called them direct and made plans to have them installed by them last Friday. All I can say is WHAT A DIFFERENCE.
The people at Alston took great care of me and my car. It doesn't even drive like the same car. Well worth every penny the money. I also installed the Wonderbar from TDS which I ordered from Hawks because I wanted black. All I can say to the guys at Alston is thanks.

Re: Alston Racing

I got my SFC and wonder bar from TDS, along with Konis and a Moog front-end rebuild kit from Spohn. Sweet. Drives better than when it was new.

Re: Alston Racing

I have black SFC's in stock. The un-coated sfc's are out of stock temporarily. Maybe you read that my black steering braces are out of stock? That's true.

The item in black I am refering to is the steering brace or the "wonder bar"

Re: Alston Racing

Oldred,
Not familiar with Alston Racing where are they located? What did the subframes look like? Boxed? Tubular?
