So its really a crap shoot almost anywhere you go.
I stayed away from CPP after they sold me some defective spindles for my Nova. After, about half a year of having my car on jack stands and finally getting them to admit they were defective, they exchanged them for a redesigned spindle. It was not what I wanted but I was lucky they took them back. Some guys were not so lucky and basically threw $750 dollars down the toilet. Always, ask CPP what the return policy is on a part. You might be surprised to hear "once installed you can not return the part".
From the research I have been doing for my truck I think I am going to exclusively go Early Classic Enterprises for all my suspension parts. Unless, they are GM parts.
If, you do a search on this site you will find some CPP horror stories on some badly designed parts.
I believe if you pay a little more for quality, you end up saving time and money in the long run. Nothing more fustrating then have to remove a part and having pay or waste gas to send the part back then, hoping they take the part back.
