Protouring F-Body feedback

I don't think you can go wrong with either one. PTFB has a lot of real world experience and many satisfied customers and is a regular contributor and supporter of this site. I'll bet PTFB is a lot cheaper too. If I decide to upgrade my suspension I would lean that way. The older I get the slower I drive so suspension upgrades are moving down the list for me.

 

My personal opinion, when it comes to leaf springs there isn’t much difference between any brand. Shocks will become more important. PTFB has a long history of delivery delays and frustrated customers so your choice. I would steer you to Hotchkis, Detroit Speed and Global West. Much higher quality products. You can buy their parts from any big name store like Summit and Jegs. Shipping will be free and returns will be easy and immediate 24/7 if you have a problem. Shipping leaf springs isn’t cheap.

 

From the horse's mouth not the horse's back side. First off understand that Mr badass has a grudge and has as he says an OPINION. (what happened to showing up at LS Fest???)
PTFB is the ONLY company that has 4 different leaf springs 2 of them are exclusive MADE IN THE USA and assembled in our shop, the others are made over seas, Summit leafs are absolute junk, the only one remotely on par with PTFB Comp leaf springs are the GW CatV but will cost you 50%
Four other companies also sell the same version of the same spring.
PTFB is a small company dedicated to 2nd gens we are a custom shop manufacture in the US, and I'm the last of the owners that still helps people on the boards.
7 SCCA regional CHAMPIONSHIPS, 2nd and 4th place at the SCCA national invitationals! multiple optima events, Ultimate street car event winner, and ALL our customers are average guys with true street cars weighing 3500#-4000# that are driven to the races and driven back.

 

Have PTFB products in my 71Z28 as well as a 81Z28 finished earlier this year for a customer. Dave is great to work with, has fair prices I have not experienced any delays getting parts. Everything we've received has been top quality. The 81 has an 1LE kit, my 71 has the GT kit. If the car's usage is primarily street driving, the 1LE kit is the way to go. These cars are sensitive to shocks, especially in the rear. Money spent on quality adjustable shocks especially in the rear is well spent. Both cars utilize OEM sway bars, just different sizes. The PTFB solid subframe mounts and sub frame connectors are the best value for the money and are quality pieces. PTFB upper control arms and long upper ball joints will easily get you 6 degrees of positive caster while still using the original lower control arms. Should we do another 2nd gen, we'll use PTFB products again.

 

THANK YOU SIR.
