I tend to stay away from Integy stuff. They do make some decent tools though. Other than that forget about it. Lnford Racing makes some strong turnbuckles. Worth the price. So far though the stock stuff is holdpng up very, vrery well.

Ya its to bad they cant put a little more effort into making a good reliable product, people have been bashing Integy for years and they havent done anything to improve it. They buy cheap materials and always have to make their parts out of and i guess will continue to do so as we keep buying the crap...to bad bud i hope you find a better product for your bashing needs.

The one clerk at my LHS warns people about integy when they ask for it.
One guy came in for more integy shocks. he broke 3 after a jump. The clerk told him to go home and slap his stock savage shocks on it. Than told him Integy is only good if you want to make a pretty(and expensive) shelf decoration. BTW he was standing in front of a wall of integy crap while he said that Then the guy asked why they carry it his response was cause some people will always buy the crap even though they were warned, cause they see something shiny.

hey jeepster the good integy bits to get are things like an engine mount, engine plate, fuel tank guard, chassis supports, bits which dont get a bend or need to flex

I don't see how they stay in buisness with the quality of the products they make / sell.

probably the same way venom racing does fleece new ppl that enter the market with their over priced crap.

I have the integy tank guard mainly cause I almost crushed my tank once (missed it by about half an inch). Its simple enough to be functional, and seeing nothing was there before hand its not replacing a vital part. I also have a integy motor mount was on my truck when I got it used, I'd never buy it personally.
