I tend to think that CPP gets a bum rap. I just ordered ~$700 worth of parts from them in the past month or two (over 3-4 orders) and had absolutely zero problems, and great service. Two orders ago, UPS delivered one of my boxes damaged, I refused, they promptly refunded everything I returned with no questions asked and absolutely zero hassle (including shipping) and got out another order to me ASAP. Then, when I realized the bumpstops, hardware and instructions were accidentally left out of my notch kit OR were shipped in the box I had to return b/c UPS damaged it, Javier (I think?) promptly got those other parts out to me as well.
All in all, their service has been great - everyone has a bad day, and it's unfortunate, but it happens. Hell, the first part I ever ordered from ECE was their nice replacement tranny crossmember - and it arrived with one corner dinged in and a crack in the powdercoat (which I patched up). I'll be damned though - ECE's parts are great as are CPP's, and Mark and the other guys at ECE and the guys at CPP also are great, they all put out quality products (although, as with everyone, seems like everything is overpriced everywher eby ~20%, especially ECE with their $800 replacement gas tanks
)
Ultimately, I bought CPP's tubular tranny crossmember to replace the ECE one, because I feel CPP's piece it's of better quality and fitment, IMO. They have their benefits - I like CPP's notch, ECE's shock relocation kit, CPP's tubular tranny crossmember, ART's tubular arms...unfortunately, no single manufacturer makes all the bomb-ass parts.
I think it's all a matter of interpretation - and you know how it goes - one or two people have problems with an order, or gets a salesperson on a bad day, tells their friend, then they tell a forum online and all of a sudden....EVERYONE says they suck, and EVERYONE had a bad experience.
Take everything with a grain of salt.
And Dan - welcome to the forum. It's unfortunate that you came when you did, because if I'd have known there was any chance to get a discount through CPP, I'd possibly have ordered my tubular arms from them. I learned about your 67-87 related tubular suspension stuff via CCT, from the articles you guys did between Nov 2006 -January 2007. I actually just cracked those open tonight to re-learn how to install the notch I just bought from you guys.
Can you tell me something - are your tubular arms setup and ready to go for bolting in airbags? The ones you installed in CCT had the lowers molded for springs, but there didn't seem to be provisions to bolt a bag to it.
