I purchased lower control arms coil over shocks and upper control arms all from the same place Speedway .Just under a $1000.00 Come to find out the lower mount of the shocks Do not fit the lower arms .The bolts that goes thru the shock are 7/16 and the bolt that {holds } the shock to the Lower A arm is 1/2 .Hmmm .So I spoke to Marty and his responses is make it work its all we have . So that means its up to the purchaser to redesign there product to make there parts work correctly .I know being in the business that this is common but I also know that Quality comes first as well as Customer Satisfaction .It just seems it accurse more and more and it is just Very sad that a product would be sold as a kit and it doesn't even FIT ! Just needed to get this off my head .ck out the pick .

I did a lot of custom and different things with my Cobra build. Lone Star did a good job with their stuff for the most part but some of the other big names. Ford Racing Parts, Edelbrock, Moroso gave me fits. In the catalog and tech data not a word about this is different, this won't fit that, be careful about this etc. Then the vendors response "We can't plan for all the possibilities or worse yet " So send it back or even worse "I don't know". I got the "I don't know" many times from big names. I think the problems may be with poor personnel, who don't give a rat's ass about the client. At Edelbrock I got the run around on valve to piston clearance problems. When I finally showed up in Torrance CA with the heads I got to talk to one of the TOP GUNs who figure the problem out in 10 minutes and the solution was some obscure push rods and lengths. A trip to Torrance to get action???
