Your impression on Shelby branded parts

Good quality parts?
Paying more for the name?

I'm not afraid to spend money on good parts, but there are so many choices out there for these cars.......it gets confusing.

Looking at suspension parts for now. UCA, LCA, panhard bars.....that kinda stuff.

I've decided on eibach sportline springs and will probably go with camber bolts for now, if I need them, instead of camber plates.

I'm open to suggestions. Money is NOT burning a hole in my pocket.

Just remember all the Shelby suspension parts are rebranded from vendors like BMR. You are much better off just buying a quality part elsewhere as you will more than likely pay less and you will know exactly who made it.

Shelby parts are generally re-brands but they cost about the same. From what I have seen they generally pick good parts to resell. So you can look at the Shelby site as good suggestions.

I've spent some time comparing the Shelby site parts with steeda and BMR. Most suspension parts I'm interested in appear to be BMR.

At east I'm learning stuff Haven't spent any money yet but I'm getting a pretty good idea of what I think I need anyway.
