I�m not sure if this is the right forum to post this, but I am very upset about a particular seller of Fbody suspension parts and want to warn all of my co-members about this seller.

I ordered a strut tower brace from Vernon at WWW.PROFABRACING.COM . I spoke with him on the phone before ordering and he seemed to be very knowledgeable. I told him it was for a 2001 Firebird 3.8 V6 and he told me he would ship immediately.
The item arrived and it did not fit. I called and left several messages and sent several emails. When I finally got ahold of him (he did not respond) he told me he accidently sent me one for a V8. He said to ship it back and he would immediately ship me a new one. I did so and a week later, having not received the new one, I called and after several messages I was told he was �fabricating� one for me and would overnight it and also send me a set of lower control arms free of charge for my troubles.
Well, overnight came and went and neither the strut tower brace nor the �free� control arms arrived despite his promises. So far, (2 days) he has not responded to my calls or my email, and he has not issued a credit to my charge card.
This guy sells on eBay as well. All I can say is CAVEAT EMPTOR! BUYER BEWARE!.When a price seems too good to be true, it usually is.
