They're all pretty expensive. Once in a while one source is cheaper than the other but you won't know until you get a catalog from everybody and compare.

I have always heard good things about steel.    Not always the cheapest but at least it fits properly which you cant say about some of the others out there.

That's right. I've never had any problems with the quality or fit of Lynn Steele's products. They treat their stuff as if it were spun gold, however. A complete set of rubber for a total restoration is going to run into several thousand dollars or more.

that's funny. I like "the week-ender", 36 hour Cialis. Keeps you going from the time you finish work on Friday all the way to Sunday morning!

Cialis only works if you are in separate outside bath tubs.......boy that stuff must be really potent!

Give Steele Rubber a fair shot…they support the CLC financially with their display ad in The Self-Starter.

Just a note of support for Steele's product support.

Last week I reported that on of my new jounce bumpers had failed on the Brougham.  I called them and had a replacement set in 2 days @ no cost to me (for the replacement).  They suggested that I send back the one that failed, but it was not required.  I will send back the bad one next week.

The car sat 4 or 5 months on them, as the air leaks down fast it, or at least it did.  I'm fixing that now.   Only one side failed which I attributed to the part.

Kudo's for Steele on this.
