Post What up with Spohn!!!

I've been waiting for like 5 months now for them to get there **** together for sub-frame conectors and still nothing. I've emailed them to find out when to expect them and they never replied. Now I notice that they've erased the price and set it to $0.00

Does anyone know WTF is going on with these clowns?!?!?!?!

I've heard this about them many times before. Your complaint and many others like it are exactly why I will never do business with them. They have no problem taking the order and keeping your money for a loooong time before they ever ship. I feel that that is a poor way to do business. There are a lot of complaints over at www.thirdgen.org about them.

I haven't bought anything yet. It just happens that I like the ones they offer and was waiting on them to get back into production but it hasn't happened yet.

They never had a problem returning my emails before when I would inquire about instalation or if they could send me some pics. Now they won't even let me know whats going on. I've tried emailing them like three times already. I even got my budy to eamil them cause I thought they were just ignoring me cause they recognized my email address. They never replyed to his email either.

Thumbs up

http://www.alstonracing.com:8080/index.agent

I went to their shop to look at the product. The manager showed me his car and it was a beauty. Next week, I went down there to get it done and we had a little issue with my exhaust and got it cleared up and they welded it on for me. They were the "bolt in" style which you could bolt in or weld it in. Best $300 or so dollars I spent. They even painted it over where the powdercoating got scuffed up during installation.

I believe it is $190 uninstalled. Good quality work for $120 but since it is too far, you probably would want to buy it and get it done locally.

lol Clowns.. I assume you know that they are not a distributor they are the makers themselves. And sometimes they get behind. I ordered my sub frames in December and got them in december. They do bunches of orders at a time. Sub frames one week or so. torque arms for a week or so. and so on or so I believe. Sorry that you haven't heard anything from them lack of response would be enough to make me upset. And you have called and emailed them to no avail? Sorry to hear that.. But it won't deter me from buying from steve.. I don't see anything out there that holds a light to their products..
