Default Vette Brakes and Products?

What's going on.......are they out of business. Just tried to call. No answer.

Attempted to look on-line.....web site is gone.

What happened?

Anyone know what is going on?

So they're all done!?

Seems like it anyway.

No way/ no how.......does a viable HEALTHY business do this.

They've been around for a long time. I bought trailing arms, a full transverse front and back suspension system from them over the years.

What happened? Does anyone know?

Dropping the ball this severely tells me they're in far deeper trouble than just a problem filling orders.

That's what I thought too.
I tried calling them to get a new dual-mount spring, since I broke mine, and was surprised to find that they're gone.

These vbp threads are popping up like mushrooms,
Look in transactions section,

I have the full transverse package on my car so i worry a little about unique parts,
But the way the treated me about defective poly bushings i was done with them then,
if they treated others like they did me it wssnt gonna to help them stay in business

I kinda got left out to dry on an order. They told me two weeks and well over a month has gone by and I figured they were re-structuring the business and would fill the orders...but it does not seem that way.

It is a crying shame. I have been using them as along as I have been in business and the way I got jerked around. I feel like many others that they just should not ruin what they built up to be a good company.. If they do return....I would also have a hard time giving them any of my money..

Like the saying goes: "Screw me once...shame on you...screw me twice...shame on me".

VBP has been in a downward spiral for quite some time. I have no idea why, but seen many threads on poor service, long parts waits, etc. Somebody needs to buy their stuff and make it work.
