Steering column question...
Not sure if this is the right forum to put this under but has anyone used Summit steering columns?
What is the good bad and ugly about them? I dont mind spending dough for a good product, but at the prices these are I thought they would be worth asking about. |

Re: Steering column question...
I could be wrong, but I think they are made by Ididit. I was looking at these also, as it looks like a good deal for everything you get.
Only thing I saw, is that they are not a bolt-in deal. You would have to use a universal type column drop. |

Re: Steering column question...
I agree, worth it for the savings. Let me know what you think when you see it in person. I would say, look at the quality of the finish, and how "tight" the tumbler for the ignition is.

Re: Steering column question...
I do know most of summits house brand parts are made by big name companies so it should be fine.

Re: Steering column question...
As luck would have it the box it came in had a sticker that was covered by a UPS label. Sticker said Hoffman and part number was stcol2b. I googled it and couldnt find Hoffman but the part number looks to also be Helix. Not sure who Helix is.

Re: Steering column question...
The steering columns that summit sells comes in from China at the price you listed above.
They do sell Ididit and flaming river columns which are alot better and quality and finish. Keep this in mind with all Ididit made columns they are made in the USA and have a lifetime warranty and use all GM internal made parts in there columns. The down side they are more money but you pay for quality If anybody wants a ididit column we can help out we have several in stock and have great prices on them Thankyou, Justin |
