Been holding this back for a bit, so here goes
We at Killer Customs www.killercustoms.ca (http://www.killercustoms.ca/) have recently purchased Speed Tech Performance www.speedtech-performance.com (http://www.speedtech-performance.com/)
I know that in the past there have been some issues with STP and our main goal is to change that. The past owners did as good a job as possible but were just overwhelmed, and i must say i can see why.
Our goal is
To increase the inventory to a level that will provide instant shipping ( please do not call TODAY and expect this service we will need a couple weeks).
To continue to develop products that work and look good ( as they have in the past).
We already have a list of products that will be released in the next 6 months.
A body upper control arms
A body lower control arms
A body upper rear trailing arms ( to complete the lowers already available)
The sub frame that was in Hot Rod mag a couple months back
this will be ready to ship some where close to the 15th of August.
We feel this will be a great tie in to what we already do and have the ability to test the products on the cars we build.
We will be looking for dealers to stock and sell the products as well.
We will be in a major transition as we hire a sales rep and build inventory.
so i ask that every one give us a chance to get everything up to speed and be able to provide the best service and product we can.

Thank You
Blake Foster

I ordered upper and lower C/A for my '67 last week and had them in 6 working days. Pretty good service if you ask me. I selected Speed Tech because of the ability to use the same C/A with coil-overs if I go that route someday.

What a hard secret to keep. I could not be hapier for Blake and the industry to have someone come in that really is "In the business". Speedtech has always build awesome components, but the fact that it was a part time gig for the owners, and being under funded,made it difficult sometimes.

We are also honored to be able to announce that we will be using Killer Customs / Speedtechs much awaited subframe in project EmptyNest along with Air Ride Street Challenge Air Bar set up.

I personally think this subframe is going to be "Killer" for those that have already updated their stock frame with arms and such, but still really want the ability to be able to put a proper sized 275 tire and also get a nice Rack and pinion and also get some corrected geometry..

We will do lots of photos when it arrives in a few weeks, and we will do a full install story and report.

Good Luck Blake.

I have several speedtech parts on my car - top quality stuff. I hope you keep the same retailers you currently have - there is one in my hometown. Good luck!
