area one in illinois

just wondering, has anyone happen to have anything done by area one in franklin park, il? i was thinking about having them install sub frame connectors on my car, but thought they kinda quoted me high. might be me though. just wondering if they do decent work and in a reasonable time.

You can buy the SFC's at Alston Racing in Antioch IL and have them install them for you. They are online at www.alstonracing.com or by phone 847-395-3500.

I have known Alston Racing for years. Used to drive by them everyday. Never put 2 and 2 together until just now. Didn't realize they were THE Alston Racing that builds the SFCs for our cars.

Re: area one in illinois

well, i was thinking spohn subframe connectors. i doubt id do a roll cage in this car, but rabrand, that roll cage looks awesome. id like to keep the car as close to stock as possible, but then again, tinkering with the engine is my forte. now if i could get my meathooks on a z-28 that'd be a different ballgame :-)

Are they the old RAM Performance that was located in Plainfield off RT30 near I55, and then relocated just off RT52 and I55 down near Shoorwood?
