Does anyone know how to get in touch with this zack guy ( I don't know who he is). I would like to get a set of his control arms. I ordered a set from Sparta Performance on 4/9/12 and I still haven't received them yet! He keeps telling me that his supplier is at fault. I will give him a little more time, but I am tired of waiting.

Zack quit making control arms quite a while ago, you may find a set on eBay or something, but that's about it.

The Sparta guy is right, it takes a while. I just bought a set, including Watts links & they are worth waiting for.

I have a set of used Mac & Zack uppers & lowers sitting around. You can find Zack on the chicago svt site. A link is at the bottom of BODYMAN posts on this site.

M&Z control arms have been out of production for about 8 yrs now. Tommy at Sparta is a standup guy and a man of his word.

I have Sparta Control arms on my car. Tommy is a stand-up guy and a well respected vendor and member of mm.net. ( There is a reason the other guys are not.) Also Tommy contributes time and even products to our meets/events. It is well worth waiting for your control arms.IMHO.

I hate waiting for parts when I order from anyone. I don't understand how someone can sell things if they don't have them in stock. Just the same way they take your payment is the same way they should be able to ship your product

Tommy is a good guy, he isn't feeding you BS. If you get tired of waiting just ask for a refund and I am sure he will give it to you.

Don't know about other states but Virginia not only taxes your equipment, it taxes whatever you have on the shelf. That's why a lot of places don't stockpile parts anymore. Have to go to 4 Advance Autos and 1 Ford dealer to get 8 god damn Marauder spark plugs.

No. :D
When I get the urge to fix or tinker with something, I wanna be able to go buy it at that particular time. I should not have to involve the use of my computer, followed by the wait time, to obtain simple parts like a spark plug. Granted, they can order them and they will be there the next day when the truck makes its deliveries, but **** that. I may have other things to do the next day.

That's why I plan ahead. I'm due to do my oil change next week and I bought the oil last month. lol

wtf? I could understand if you are ordering something online from a company that has a business within that state but what if you order something from some place out of state or is online only?

Bingo! Although i bought control arms from sparta a few years ago with no issues, i once purchased 4" megs tips and power slot cryo treated rotors from a former vendor here, will not name, but its not who most people are thinking, anyway, i waited over 3 months for both, and when i received the rotors the invoice from power slot said the rotors were ordered a week before they arrived! Meaning the vendor took my money and decided to order said parts almost 3 months after i initially ordered from him!

I asked you if you wanted a refund last week when we spoke and you said you would wait it out. Well I just issued you one so you should see it within next 24hrs.

Doesn't work that way, businesses can't shell out of thousands of dollars in inventory to have it sit on a shelf and gather dust.

Agreed! i ordered my motor from Summit Racing, they dont actually stock it, but has it shipped directly from the manufactuer (Ford) in my case, same with my blower paid them, and they had Vortech build it , and ship directly to me.

Thats just how it works

What justifies spending over $125 more then the Sparta arms for a metco set?

The first link is a bid auction and it's only 36 dollars more this is the 3rd time that they auction these so I'm sure if he bids on these he will win them and he won't have to wait 1 or 2 months to receive them
