I just want to let everone know how great Van Steel is!! My TRW rear spring that I bought from them had the 8" bolts that made my car look like a 4x4. Art at Van Steel overnighted me the 10" bolts to make things right. I highly reccommend doing business with them, because of there commitment to make it right for customer.

BTW, Art is the owner and Danny is the son. They do business the old fashioned way!!!!! I agree, great customer service.

I like hearing good things about our vendors. Its important to know who is committed to the enthusiast and not just in it for the buck.

I tried to speak with someone about there trailing arm refurbishing at there booth at a Ecklers show about 1 1/2 years ago and I got the feeling like they had better things to do. So I went to Bair's. I am sure I could have caught them at a bad time.

Thanks guys.

Sorry you got that impression of us. We are not like that at all. Thats the key to our business. We try to make things right for everyone. :seeya :thumbs:

Id also like to ad what a great experience I had dealing with Van Steel. I drove over to Clearwater from Orlando first thing in the morning to have my trailing arms rebuilt, and they were able to service them while I waited. Thanx again to everyone for keeping me from having to make two trips from Orlando to Clearwater.
By the way, the trailing arms are performing wonderfully.

That's cool; it was my one and only experience with Van Steel. I have seen many favorable comments for you guys over the years. I am sure my experience was an isolated incident.

WOW! VanSteel overnighted the bolts to you! That IS excellent customer service. :thumbs:
l2vette, do you have any before and after pictures?

I have had Van Steel rebuild trailing arms for me and I purchased a set of carbon fiber half shafts from them that I will install this winter. Great company to deal with. For that matter, there is no one who holds a candle to them when it comes to trailing arm rebuilds.

I just dealt with them also for trailing arms, differential, the 30 spline axle kit and some other things and the stuff looks unbelievably great and they could not have been better to deal with. Bill.

I haven't done any business with them YET, next time I need something you can bet I will. After talking to Art & Dan at an ECC in Bradenton, they seem to be some GOOD PEOPLE!!! It's nice to actually see, meet, and talk to the owner of the business. I'm sure EVERYBODY who works there is very knowledgeable, but it's nice to see the owner actually is hands on and involved. :cheers:

I spoke with Dan at the Carlisle show this year and got a lot of good info. They look like good people to deal with and will work with you to get exactly what you want done. On the other hand I also went to the Bairs booth and couldn't get an audience from the 1 guy they had manning the booth. It never ceases to amaze me how companies will go to a show with tens of thousands of people and then have one person manning their product booth. Oh well, I guess I'll be dealing with Van Steel this winter.

I had Van steel rebuild the trailing arms on my '72 and I was very happy. They just rebuilt the trailing arms for my'64 and there are waiting to be put back in!!!

Those guys are great! Easy to talk to, and very helpful. Van Steel rebuilt the rear end, halfshafts, rear bearings and T-arms on my car. I also bought a lot of my suspension parts through them. Bunch of great people over there.
