Been holding this back for a bit, so here goes
We at Killer Customs www.killercustoms.ca have recently purchased Speed Tech Performance www.speedtech-performance.com
I know that in the past there have been some issues with STP and our main goal is to change that. The past owners did as good a job as possible but were just overwhelmed, and i must say i can see why.

Our goal is
To increase the inventory to a level that will provide instant shipping ( please do not call TODAY and expect this service we will need a couple weeks).

To continue to develop products that work and look good ( as they have in the past).

We already have a list of products that will be released in the next 6 months.
A body upper control arms
A body lower control arms
A body upper rear trailing arms ( to complete the lowers already available)

The sub frame that was in Hot Rod mag a couple months back
this will be ready to ship some where close to the 15th of August.

We feel this will be a great tie in to what we already do and have the ability to test the products on the cars we build.

We will be looking for dealers to stock and sell the products as well.

We will be in a major transition as we hire a sales rep and build inventory.
so i ask that every one give us a chance to get everything up to speed and be able to provide the best service and product we can.

Thank you
Blake Foster

What a hard secret to keep. I could not be hapier for Blake and the industry to have someone come in that really is "In the business". Speedtech has always build awesome components, but the fact that it was a part time gig for the owners, and being under funded,made it difficult sometimes.

We are also honored to be able to announce that we will be using Killer Customs / Speedtechs much awaited subframe in project EmptyNest along with Air Ride Street Challenge Air Bar set up.

I personally think this subframe is going to be "Killer" for those that have already updated their stock frame with arms and such, but still really want the ability to be able to put a proper sized 275 tire and also get a nice Rack and pinion and also get some corrected geometry..

We will do lots of photos when it arrives in a few weeks, and we will do a full install story and report.

Good Luck Blake.

Congrats Blake, good news to hear. :cheers:

That subframe sounds pretty interesting. Need a local car to test it on? :unibrow:

Good for you guys though as Speedtech's customer service wasn't the greatest before, so I hope you guys will make good on that. :thumbsup:

We've all been busting our asses here to nudge our new little addition along, and I must say it aint easy!:willy:

Thanks for the warm response, and we're stoked to give all you guys some "Killer" new products.

There have been some changes on the subframe from the pictures you've seen, just to make it that much better.

I cant wait to see it carving some hard corners, and pulling you down the straight aways!:thumbsup:

Blake:

Anyway you can offer a variety of choices regarding you sub frame?

For instance:

Choice of difference steering ratios?

Choice of sway bars? (Standard, Splined, adjustable)

Choice of engine platforms?

Opportunity to run a 275-305 front tire?

I look forward to hearing from you.

Many pictures over the next few months would be appreciated?

Thanks,

Ty

As for the options:

Different steering ratios? we feel we will use the 15:1 quick ratio
sway bar will be splined 1.25 with 4130 forged arms.
All engines should fit we are going to make the mounts in the same location as stock.
the 275-305 tire seems to be an issue at this point, we will know more later this week, we are trying to make everything work including air ride, ats spindles, coil overs.
will keep every one up to date
