I've delt with Steeda on several occasions with no problem. I have there CAI, Tri-ax, and catback. When I ordered my catback they said it was on backorder and I'd recieve it in 10 to 15 days. 11 days later it was at my door.
i have never had an issue with steeda and have quite a few of their products on my 94 gt. the again, they are located 20 minutes from me and i have always just gone in when i needed something.Originally posted by jfclague
Has anyone had issues with Steeda?
First, I bought a strut tower brace for my '03 Cobra. It only connects from the strut towers (no connection to the firewall like other manufacturers). Also, you have to drill into the body (on previous braces for other cars that I have had, you just attached using the same bolts for your struts, no drilling). I decided to return it and they freakening charged me a 20% restocking fee. I have never had this happen with anything I have ever bought. I guess this is another way for them to screw you.
Second, I have had springs for my '03 Cobra on back order for 2 months and I get the same response every time, they will be here next week. So I cancelled. Also, I just found out that their springs are just Eibach springs painted blue (with an extra charge for their name).
All I have ever heard is stay away from Steeda products because they were cheap and over priced. I guess I learned the hard way.
I won't be ordering from them anymore.
Thanks for letting me vent.

Jim, did you ask them how the strut brace connected to the car? How is it that your preconceived notion about how it should work now somehow their problem?
I am not a big fan of restocking fees either, but I do understand why they are charged. Either way, that info is on their site.
It seems to me your problems could have been averted if you took some time on your end to research what you were getting. Maybe the restocking fee will help keep you from wasting your (or the vendor's) time in the future.

Well, having just clicked on a 3point picture, when saw the picture, my brain told me it was a 3point brace.
