FAQ's

Q.    Are independent suspension kits hard to install?

A.    No.not if you purchase the correct type. All of HEIDTS Hot Rod & Muscle Car Parts kits  are designed to fit specific model cars exactly. You only need to know the type of car you have, not the frame dimensions.

Q.    Do the HEIDTS Hot Rod & Muscle Car Parts Kits work as good as a factory car?

A.    Yes, because HEIDTS Hot Rod & Muscle Car Parts does not alter the factory designs. They recognize the fact that the factory spent millions of dollars developing their designs and they are not improved by moving pivot points or changing tie rod ends or other components.

Q.    How do the HEIDTS Hot Rod & Muscle Car Parts conversion kits compare to the front sub-frame swaps?

A.    A properly designed suspension conversion kit will ride and handle every bit as good as a sub-frame swap. The difference in the conversion kit is about one tenth the amount of work. When you cut off your frame rails for a sub-frame swap, you no longer have a place to mount the fenders or radiator. Besides all that, you have to relocate the motor mounts and often times narrow the sub-frame, along with the steering linkage. On quality conversion kit, be it a Mustang type or a tubular control arm type, you simply install the crossmember, which should be designed for your particular frame, bolt on the suspension components, then bolt your car back together. The difference is a job that took only a couple of days rather than two or three weeks.

Q.    Do you keep your kits in stock or do I need to supply dimensions of my frame so you can build one when I order?

A.    The designs of the cars for which we make conversion kits has not changed since those cars were built 40-50 years ago. So, there is no reason to special order a standard kit. All our products are built for stock and are on the shelf ready for shipment, since we already know what your frame looks like, You need only to tell us what type of car you have.

Q.    How do you ship your products?

A.    All our products, are packaged to ship U.P.S. This is the most economical method. Of course, if you are in a hurry, next day and second day service is available.
