Default vetterx rear trailing arms?

anyone ever buy or have any experiances with the Vetterx $269.99 rebuilt stock rear trailing arm deal they advertise on their site & on Ebay.
seems like a good deal but kinda smells fishy as well? being that you send them your arms they disassmble, clean & inspect them ,then give you a quote. well if your arms don't meet their "core" specs and you decide not to continue the rebuild, do they reassemble your old stuff or send you back a pile of peices. I mean they kinda have you over a barrel if they took all the **** apart & you still have to pay for return shipping to boot.

Send them one, if it doesn't work out, don't send the other.

$269.99!

That's a deal even if they use Chinese parts!

Hi L,
Take a look at the ZIP and Corvette Central catalogues.
They both offer a t-arm rebuilding service.
Notice that they both list exactly what they do, what parts are replaced, what is reused, and what isn't included.
Notice the price.
Regards,
Alan

I used Van-Steel. I sent them my rear bearing hubs only, for rebuilding.
I rebuilt the trailing arms my self.
I was very pleased with Van-Steels work. Turn around time was good as well.
