Birchmount vs. Flex A Form


slick

Recommended Posts

As the title says, I'm stuck which way to go on the rear suspension. Both replace the stock rear spring. Can't remember which, but I remember people ordering one from a company with specs they wanted, and it didn't quite match up. Performance wise, which has the better spring rates to help stiffen it up a bit?

 

I found Birchmounts contact info, no price info though. Anyone got that?

 

I could not find Flex A Forms contact info or price. Anyone got that?

 

What's the timeframe I'm looking at from time I place the order until it arrives at my door, from past experiences on here?

 

Thanks.

I bought a Flex-A-Form leaf 2 or so years ago, for $350 shipped. Still works perfectly.

 

Timeframe for Flex-a-form, depending on how busy they are at the time, is about 1.5-2 weeks.

Chris......if you actually wanted to give Birchmount a call...the # is area code 416-698-3636 here in Toronto. It's been quite a few years since leaving the truck shop I used to work for did business with them, but Alex may still own the company.

I remember the birchmounts being around 200+ shipping in the group buy that was started. I think you could probably get it for 2-300 shipped. Everything i've heard from the birchmount is it's stiff, but not unbearable!

Say, this truck shop wasn't on Kingston Rd. near the Pickering border in Scarborough was it? I had my Birchmount installed at a shop there in 2002...

 

As for the stiffness, it really isn't too much. Just enough to cure squat-butt during brisk getaways.

Anyone have any info on whether the Birchmount ones are any good or not? I happen to work approx 5 blocks north of the place on Birchmount.

 

I havent heard anything bad about them, other than they are heavier than the fiberglass ones. But I dont have one.
