AIM, Chassis Tech, Ricky Racer, etc. . . all suck. We, as a shop, will not
even install any parts purchased from them. I have heard too many horror
stories of parts breaking, sending out wrong parts, and raping you on
restocking fee's. There prices may be low, but there shipping is high. Some
people have had good experiences with them, however the majority of people
who come through our shop, have nothing bad to say about them. If you want
quality spend the extra money for Western Chassis, DJM, or Belltech. Boycott
LAIM and Joe Morrow.

Hello,

Chassis Tech and AIM are the same thing. Anyway, I have Chassis Tech
lowering parts on my 94 and Western Chassis Lowering parts on my 91. Both
seem to be well made as they installed easily, allowed for easy alignment
and I've had no problems with either.
