His site said maybe by the end of March but it is almost the end of April, I left messages for him (phone & e-mail) asking when he will start taking orders again for SFC's but I never got a reply. I ended up getting the Kenny Brown Super Sub's instead because I got tired of waiting. I would have waited for Steve but I never got a reply from him as to when his SFC's would be available. The Kenny Brown SFC's cost more than Spohn's but I am sure the quality is comparable to Spohn's if not better.

I got an email from Spohn a few weeks ago. It should only be another week or two and the prcing will remain the same.

go to summitracing.com jegs.com I have looked at Spoons prices and they are ALOT higher then the same part, better known name and known quality. Hell you can get hotchkiss for 50 bucks cheaper at least.

Correction went to summitracing.com and heres the part number and price...
HSS-4001 Chevrolet/Pontiac: 1982-92 Camaro/Firebird, weld-on, steel, black powdercoat, subframe connectors ... $185.95 ² compared to what? $279! 100 bucks difference there!... And Hotchkis is known for there stuff. I have not heard of Spoon before coming to this board...
