Early Classic Enterprises
 

About 10-15 years ago, it seemed like all I saw was advertising for Early Classic Enterprises. The last few years? Nothing... No catalogs in the mail, but their website still seems to be active. I always received great service from them on my last project. Does anybody still use them for parts? Are they still any good??

Re: Early Classic Enterprises
 

Yes, if you search ECE on here you'll find a ton of people use their lowering kits, including me. I've never seen an ad from them.

I just bought a disc brake conversion yesterday. I worked with Mark. It has been a great experience thus far.

Re: Early Classic Enterprises
 

Honestly, they're one of those places that doesn't need to advertise and they know it...

Re: Early Classic Enterprises
 

Great company, great products, and top of the line customer service!

Re: Early Classic Enterprises
 

Just received a set of drop spindles from them

Re: Early Classic Enterprises
 

Great to know they're still good!

Re: Early Classic Enterprises
 

When you place your order, they used to give a shipping discount (NOT free, but a little $ off) to forum members, it's not much, but it's something.

It's heavy stuff, so a little off shipping helps.

The only 3 gripes I will share about ECE are:

1) Their instructions are sub par. Details missing including some torque specs, and part orientation details during install. This was for their 4/6 drop kit.

2) Customer service. I agree they're good and responsive on the phone. My problem came when I sent a 1.5" drop coil set back to exchange them for their 2" drop set, after speaking with ECE to get this approved. I paid $ for 3 day shipping to send them the 1.5" coils including a note explaining the purpose of the exchange for whomever opened the package. After waiting 2 weeks to get my 2" coils back, I called them and found out why I had not received their shipment. Apparently my package had arrived to them 2 weeks earlier but no one at ECE had taken responsibility to handle it and make the exchange. No biggie, but the lack in attention caused a 2 week delay in moving forward with my project.

3) This is getting nit picky but they KYB stocks in their 4/6 drop kit are crap. ECE them selves even said on here, they personally use RideTech shocks. It'd be great if ECE could offer a better stock with their kits even for slightly more $, or confirm they have the proper KYB shock lengths that go along with their springs.

Overall, I'm happy I went with ECE. I feel the parts the make themselves are of good quality and their phone support is good.

I've ordered stuff from ECE since 2005, most recently earlier this month. I received a call a couple hours after placing my order about a small part that wouldn't be available for a couple days - wanting to know about holding up the order (caring about how the issue affected me). I really appreciate quick response and customer service.

Re: Early Classic Enterprises
 

I know this is a super old thread but I’m looking for some help regarding some ece part numbers and since they’re out of business now I’m hoping one if you can help.

I need to confirm the lug pattern on this disc brake conversion. I know it’s 6 lug but I need to determine the spacing. Is it 5.5”?

Ece part # 903-6770-DBC6

Re: Early Classic Enterprises
 

Don't know your part #...5 x 5 (5 lug 5" across) would not be 6 lug....

Re: Early Classic Enterprises
 

notsolo, I think he said 5.5 not 5 x 5.

As far as I know all '67- '70 with 6 bolt hubs are 6 x 5.5.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong....

I just went to their website a couple days ago and saw that they were no longer in business. A total surprise.

Re: Early Classic Enterprises
 

Real bummer. I installed their spindles & leaf springs just last year. On a side, their spindles don't fit as nice as original:chevy: Their competition (former) probably the same.
