Dan`s performance parts
TheMiniMan - October 18th, 2010 at 11:21 AM

hey i`m looking at buying a steering rack from Dans Performance parts in the states, anyone with any good/bad experiences from them?

The rack is the end load type & they`re suggesting it will cost $137.95 for the cast one & $178.95 for the billett one

it`s for my hillclimb buggy & i`d like to grab it now while the Aussie dollar is pretty good & i`d dearly like it fitted ready for the noosa hillclimb 13th & 14th Nov so i`m keen as mustard to order it now

sooo,,, anyoine think i can get the same (or similar) rack cheaper or quicker anywhere else or am i onto a good thing???

cheers
Matt

Try CIP 1, Dan's didn't like doing o/s orders, all too hard. CIP 1 are fast. I'm about to go and order something now, ring if you want to get one in the same order.

i have an order with Dan's pending atm - it has taken a 5 days and no update... will let you know how it ends up!

they have some nice parts and billet bits hey...

oldskl60,,, if they havn`t sent your order yet, can we tag my steering rack onto it maybe?

i can fix you up with the cash right now if you`re ok with it???

Edit, Matty, CIP 1 doesn`t list the rack i want

Got my gear the other day.

All was good and the shipping was fair using USPS. I would use them again.

Cheers
