S&W parts

Anybody use S&W suspension parts on their f body? I use them for my race car and just recently found out they're a big supplier of late model f body parts. I expect their parts would be top quality just from what I know about them as a company, but would like to know how they compare to others..

well, they do lots of things, but yes, they're a full chassis shop, they'll build you a race car fromt he ground up, but i didn't know that they had street car stuff

EDIT: site here: www.swracecars.com

i've talked to the owner a few times cause i race with him, seems very knowledgeable, helped me on the spot at maple grove with some coil over nonsense..

I have their cage,it was advertised as fitting in a car with a full interior but took about 500 modifications to get it in so I am 50/50 with them. Their 3rd Gen SFC's look sick though!

S+W cage here and same thing, it was notched, but we had to re-notch almost every tube. But I still like what I've seem of their parts. The 3rd gen sway bar kit looks like a very nice peice!
