great products and prices. especially their relocation brackets for the LCA's and adjustable Panhard bars.

shipping is VERY cheap, and products came very well packed and pretty quick.

Quick question. I just ordered the same kit from Founders also about 4 days ago and my order still at "Awaiting Fulfillment".

I sent them an email on the site asking for expected ship date so I can plan my weekends on some work, end links, shocks, panhard,etc... with no response.

I was wondering is this normal for them or is pretty quick shipping about two weeks. No big deal but did not want to complain unless something is out of the ordinary..

Its not uncommon for companies to "build to order" I've delt with it and its worth the wait. Founders stuff is a lot cheaper than say UMI or BMR's suspension pieces

i bought the rear trailing arms and panhard bar,,,good price and parts..next is the strut mounts,,i wish they would make tubular lower a arms for 3rd gens ...i would get those too.

bubbagump2001

Yeah my plan is to do that as well but I have some other things up front to fix first, (guy I bought from mig welded the header pipe to the exhaust at all points) so a little mess to fix.

Anyway back to topic. I figured it might take a while but just wanted to confirm... thanks

I ordered control arms and a panhard bar on Wed 6/22. I emailed and asked for tracking ans told they were closed and would reopen Monday 6/27.

bubbagump2001

Got a reply yesterday also. Was told it would ship today or tomorrow. So all is good...

bubbagump2001

Well it took almost three weeks to arrive but I finally got the parts. They are well constructed. Looking forward to trying them out with the new kyb and endlinks..

I hate to question the quality of parts that people do seem to be happy with. But how are the Founders parts compared to a place like J&M Products at hotpart.com?

I was looking at the LCA Relocation brackets for $47 vs $80. For 60% of the price, are they 60% of the quality too?

I've heard good things about founder's quality thus far.

i have been wanting to see how their quality is.

UnderCover89TBI

iTrader: (25)

well you can buy me some strut mounts and i'll let you know buddy

bubbagump2001

So far just having them in hand. The quality is way better than oem, not something I would use on a 1/4 track, but for a daily driver / a little fun I would say it falls in the mid-range class of performance quality. Plus it is made in the USA so they get my business..

those brackets are the only part i have bought from founders and they are very well made. I would buy them again long before i spent more elsewhere for them

Just bought a set of the RLCA relocation brackets myself and I am quite happy with the product. Mine had a TINY flaw in the coating, but not something I'm overly concerned about.

My order was shipped very quickly as well!

I just ordered my LCA, Panhard, and Relocation Brackets. Pretty Excited about my purchase. Can't wait to get it on the car.

iceman383ja

I ordered the LCA, PHB, and relocation brackets. Everything came in well packed and shipped fast. I got these a couple of days ago. The hurricane stopped me from being able to put them on! I can't wait to put these on the car see how much different the car feels. Thanks to Founders for not breaking the bank!

bubbagump2001

Well I have had mine installed for a solid month now. Handling is significantly better over stock. So for the price, and the gain over stock very impressed, now I wish they would make some SFC and tower braces...

Rockyd

i have had my strut mounts on for a couple of weeks now and i love them. now yes my old ones where way past due to be switched out but i do like the way the car feels with the new ones on. I will be ordering more things from them in the next couple of weeks very good product shipping and well customer service!!!!!

Hey Founders Perf,

You guys having any sales for labor day?? I'm interested in the caster camber plates for my camaro and single adjustable rear lcas and panhard for the TA.

FoundersPerf

Sorry but at the pricing we have we don't have any profit left to offer sales. Our hard material costs have been rising lately and we are doing everything we can to keep our pricing the same.

Hey Founders,
Any chance on a strut tower brace or sub frame connectors?

P.S. Love my panhard bar and LCA's.

FoundersPerf

We do have plans on subframe connectors but nothing on the shock tower brace at this time. We do have our panhard rod relocation kits at powdercoat.

Brian do you care to explain this situation for us?

looking forward to seeing those subframe connectors..

tubbytownsend13

do the adjustable lca's come set at stock length founders? just wondering...

same for the panhard bar? im gonna order both with rod ends

FoundersPerf

We don't preset them at factory length.

KiLLJ0Y

iTrader: (1)

Whats the eta on the subframes? Price range? Round or box?

FoundersPerf

We have a couple of things ahead of them but hoping to have them ready in the next few months. We haven't decided yet on round or square. We will need to look at the car to determine which will be better.

I recently purchased the LCA's and PHB set up with rod ends. Product was awesome, the only issue I had was the spacers were not the offset style as shown on their website. I contacted them about it and they had the correct ones to me in the mail within 2 days. Awesome to do business with, and will be buying more from them in the future!

ZZ3 Z28

Interesting to say the least. However, I don't know if that would stop me from ordering from them. I did check out LCA relocate brackets from both Founder's website and J&M and the particular item was the same item number, 23881R but with vastly different pricing. One was about $48 and the other about $90. That is quite a discrepancy. Makes me wonder if the cheaper ones are blems or some such thing. For a 50% discount I can put up with a little paint problem, heck, the things are underneath the car any way and one trip down the highway can scratch the jabeezus out of 'em.

zenish

i don't blame a company for wanting to make money.im just glad we are able to get the best prices.

My stuff came yesterday, packed really well, look like great quality, cannot wait to get them on the car

Just got and installed my panhard bar from Founders today. Great quality and they are great to work with. Highly recommended.

Hey Founders, whats the ETA on those thirdgen subframes??? i see the 4thgen ones are out, fantastic price too.. i have money burning a hole in my pocket.. hurry up

Project-RS

iTrader: (1)

i have a question. is it really worth the price difference from founders and umi? i matched up both brands with the same parts and founders is over 350.00 cheaper than umi. (panhard relocation kit, on car adj panhard bar, on car adj control arms, control arm relocation kit, and camber plates). any thoughts?

KiLLJ0Y

iTrader: (1)

yeah, its called OVER paying. Founders are a great company that make quality parts, being that they are new and cheaper, people think they are sub-par. they are not. UMI was at one time, the only game in town for a few selected parts and their prices show that.

Now im not knocking UMI, i have bought plently from them in the past, I think compaired to Founders, their quality is just as good, so why pay more for the same quality? that, then, comes down to paying for the name.

Project-RS

iTrader: (1)

yea. i bought umi's new k member and tunnel mounted torque arm with crossmember. i might have to buy founders rear suspension and camber plates to save almost 400.00

BlackenedBird

iTrader: (5)

What bothers me about Founders is that it is J&M/hotparts.com, just operating under a different name.

Why the 3 different names & 2 different pricing schedules, for the same parts? That being said...I probably will still buy the Founders parts, I just wish there was a little more honesty. Selling your same parts for half the price under a different name doesn't strike me as honest business.

UnderCover89TBI

iTrader: (25)

just be happy thier is a company like Founder's out there. I wish they were around awhile back when I did my suspension mods. Id have a couple hundred more dollars in my pocket.

BlackenedBird

iTrader: (5)

I'm happy with the PRICES. It isn't a "new" company. J&M/hotpart.com simply created a 3rd business name for themselves, Founders, & is selling the exact same parts for half their price. "Gimme $50 or $100 for this & that will tell me which company name decal to put on it."

Project-RS

iTrader: (1)

im going to order the entire line of founders parts when taxes come in and umi for the rest

UnderCover89TBI

iTrader: (25)

and your still complaining. you can buy the same parts cheaper. why complain that is a good thing. instead your goign to make them raise thier prices. I figure if your dumb enough to pay more for the part when thier is a cheaper option out there than that is your fault not thiers
