I have had very good luck with them! I would not hesitate to do business with them again. I believe people have had problems with airbagit.com though

Re: stylin trucks? yes or no

For C30 drop kits, the 'go-to' choice was SportTruck Direct. They had both drop spindles for the front & flip-kits for the rear (from Western Chassis) when other companies only offered rear shackle/hanger kits.

STD is the company that started having customer relation issues & the general theme seemed to be they would gladly take your money for parts & then ship an incomplete order or not ship anything & not communicate the issues. Their website stopped being updated & direct phone lines weren't being answered so you could only order from the web which didn't do much good if your order was fubar'd.

You can now get Western Chassis products through Summit Racing. As far as I know, WC, BellTech, & AIM/ChassisTech are the only C30 spindle sources.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.

I've never had issues w/Western Chassis products.

I'm using WC spindles on my C30 (the most recent project) & did have the rear flip kit as well but sold it before ever installing as I chose to go straight to air for the rear. A HD leaf set-up just does not have as good of ride quality vs a coil/bag set-up IMO.

Re: stylin trucks? yes or no

I've got'n drop spindle's from Style'n twice with no issue.
but I've also order'd other things from them and they would ship substitute item's, not what In order'd. and every thing I ever oreder'd from them was by phone, they never mention'd that what I want'd was out of stock.

They're the same as AIM/ChassisTech. Google those names (aliases) & read-up before spending your hard earned money.

Re: stylin trucks? yes or no

I would say summit. I used to buy spindles from stylin as well, but summit does have cheaper prices on spindles.
