Brit-Tek Rear Suspension Kits. Any Experience?

Well, I got my tax refund back today, and I am thinking that I need to spend it on something for the old B'. I need some new rear springs, and I see that Brit-Tek has a rear suspension kit that includes springs, bushings, etc.

It sells for $249, and is right in my price range. Has anyone used these springs and what results have you had with them?

A link to the site is:

Any info is greatly appreciated.

I used him for my 75 and the springs were moss and even though the springs were 1" lowering it sat higher than stock and I had to use lowering blocks. Other than that the springs have been great.

See if he would be willing to swap out the rubber bushing for poly and you will have a killer rear end. Also before you begin check the bump stop pedistals. On both my 73 and 75 at least 1 of them was crushed around the U bolt and not reusable. It's a good idea to check before you tear everything apart. If they are bent they are cheap to replace.

Ron, I've dealt with Bob at Brit-Tek for my peco system, some front suspension items and some other stuff. He's about 20 miles up a very curvy road from my home.
I have no problem recommending him. He'll treat you right.
