Long Stroke

Hopefully they take care of you. I'm curious to see how they handle this, I need to buy some parts also...

Wanted to upgrade my suspension.92 Notch, what do you have in mind?

Just passing through.
Long Stroke is a fantastic username.
that is all
Upgrade the handling, maybe throw some bolt ons, headers, exhaust, I already have an edelbrock intake that I'm going to reuse.i don't intend on drag racing it or anything like thatWhat are your intentions with the car?
Hey Joe, thanks for the reply.
I believe you might have received the bushings for our steel lowers and not the aluminum lowers like you have. Looking at the bushing tube prints, the aluminum lowers have an ID of 1.950" and the steel lowers have a bushing tube with an ID of 1.750".
Wow, the ones that blew out were yellow in color? Now that's a blast from the past. I bet the bushing has the numbers 2302 on them because we only made 2 kits with yellow bushings 79-98 (555-4503) and 99-04 (555-4603). They haven't been in production since 2003 but I do have some more yellow replacement bushings in stock.
Just to be clear, you should not be running the bushings with the 1.8 OD in your aluminum lowers with a 1.950 ID bushing tube, that's too much slop. Please email me directly your ship to address, and what year your car is and I'll gladly send out a FREE set tomorrow to you as FedEx is loading up as I type this.
FYI we have 3 bushings options for that arm, Yellow 95 durometer, black 90 durometer and red 85 durometer. Just let me know what you want.
Once again sorry for the inconvenience and the trouble this has cause. But at the end of the day, we'll make this right.
Thanks,
Scott

So many parts, so little time, need a fatter wallet...Upper and lower control arms will help with the traction. But to greatly improve handling I'd also suggest lowering springs, and front and rear swaybars. It would completely transform the way the car handles and feels.
What about coil overs?Upper and lower control arms will help with the traction. But to greatly improve handling I'd also suggest lowering springs, and front and rear swaybars. It would completely transform the way the car handles and feels.
Personally don't skimp on suspension parts. Going coilover? Contact MM. They will get you setup for the proper sized springs(length-rate) and I highly recommend strange engineering adj struts. You'll also need CC plates if you don't have any. For a street car I would look at around 200# spring rate.What about coil overs?

Fair enough.I wouldn't delete it. This is good info for people who search about companies customer service.
I know I have a short list of companies I deal with.
You should be able to edit the title yourself. In the top right of the thread page you should see "thread tools". It's a drop down and you'll see "edit title". I'm glad to see that Steeda made it good in the end just like GroupAwheels did with me and my ROH wheel failure.Well, looks like scott did as he said and resolved the situation.
Received 2 new sets of bushing and all the parts needed to install them.
While i didn't put them in, they are 2 inches just as they needed to be.
I don't think anyone will have any more customer service issues with steeda (something i never expected from steeda to begin with).
And if you do, you probably don't need to make one of these posts like i did to fix it. Just PM Long Stroke.
He's been with steeda for a long time, long enough to know all their products and understands what bad public relations does.
Oh and this time i'm using gloves with the water proof grease, not sure how many times i have to learn that lesson.
Thanks again,
Joe
Mods: Could you edit the title to say resolved (i don't think i can).
Or just delete the whole thing.
