Re: ECE - closing business

This stinks. Best place to get suspension parts for a Chevy truck. Thanks for posting though, I need a set of big block 2” drop spring for my 427 swap. Discount helped but didn’t even cover shipping but happy to have them.

Re: ECE - closing business

Hate to hear this news. Pretty competitive market I'm sure. They were just one of the few companies that knew their stuff when you called.

I saw this posted on FB as well. I went ahead and grabbed some lenses for taillights, reverse lights, and front turn signals... along with some flasher relays.

Shutting down by the looks of it. Drop kits aren't on the website anymore so once inventory is sold out that looks like that is it.

Re: ECE - closing business

Really sucks.

Who you guys recommend for disc brake kits now?

I went and saved some of their tech writeups before they are gone.

Re: ECE - closing business

They’re going with 20% off on anything left in stock! I guess that’s the only plus.

Re: ECE - closing business

Does anyone else make factory height conversion spindles for a 1970 C/10 so that I can swap to 1971 disc brakes but keep the rest of my front end components 1970? ECE was the only place I had seen those spindles and I’m not seeing them listed anymore.

I thought CPP Makes stock height spindles. I have a set on my 1968. Looking at their website and on ebay and summit I can't find them right now. You might call them and ask.

Re: ECE - closing business

I was surfing the net and somehow got redirected to the ECE website. Now it says ECE got picked up by Holley, so should start seeing their products through them. Glad they're not dying.

Re: ECE - closing business

So they got bought out by Holley, sometimes its the right time to cash in. If products stay the same that's good but I'm sure the superb customer service and knowledge that the Staff had at ECE will not be of the same caliber.
