Shoebox Suspension

[jy211]

I am getting ready to upgrade my stock suspension on my 55' Chevy 150 Sedan. Mark at SC&C got me a package together.
StreetComp Stage 2,basic. Includes tall upper ball joints,tall tie rod ends and adj. tubular upper a arms with greasable bushings.
Varishock QS1 coilover conversion with springs
Varishock QS1 adj. rear shocks
Baer 13"/dual piston Track front brakes
Baer 12" Sport rear discs
This totals about $4500


I asked a question on another chat board and someone contacted me with this list of parts. He's asking $3500. The parts are used and have about 1500-2000 miles on them.

Heidts tubular upper and lower front a-arms, already powder coated metallic silver
silver powdered coated front sway bar
Tci/Earle Williams powder coated 2" dropped spindles
12" wilwood disc brakes
2"dropped 5 leaf springs
rear sway bar
front QA1 coilovers
rear QA1 shocks
set of 1.5" steel lowering blocks and grade 8 ubolts

I am just wary and I am a believer of you get what you pay for.

Any thoughts to this?

My thought is: Why is he selling them? A total suspension package usually isn't something you just "try out and sell it if you don't like it".

You are right though, you do get what you pay for.

I'd spend the extra dough and get the new stuff. I wouldn't want drop spindles and blocks on my car with the way I intend to drive it.

thanks for the responses.

Here is why he said he's selling the items: BTW, the only reason I'm selling this stuff is because my car is being rebuilt. The front end will wind up with pretty much the same set up, but chrome instead. The rear is going to be a 4 link now.

Does anyone know about Earle Williams??

Does anyone know about Earle Williams??

He has a great reputation with the Tri5 guys. Earle does great work and is a good guy.

Not only that, his daughter is now working for us! She and her husband are just finishing up a killer PT 64 Nova.

If you go with Earle, you won't go wrong........
