wow..angry words!

I find that you get what you pay for..and for my $$ brafasco is the best.

They can get anything. You can get the head you want.

You can order as little or as many as you need.

They'll take an order over the phone, and you can swing by and pick it up.

The only down side is you need to know your sizes

i'm a fan of brafasco as well... there is a guys that sells screw kits on savage-central.. its call get screwed... there are good reviews of his screws

I've purchased their kit for my on-road car and it was fine, came with the right size screws and no problems with stripping. They even included extra screws. Maybe you got a bad batch? Email them and tell them the problem.

Also, make sure your allen wrench isn't worn out. I found that they can cause the stripping.

That's too bad... You probably got a bad batch.

same hear all the 2 mm heads would strip if too much pressure was applied but the 2.5 and 3 mm were fine still better then stock!!

I've heard great things about www.tonysscrews.com. He has complete kits. But Brafasco is a great choice.

hyper7man · 08-21-2005, 09:20 PM

I got pretty good screws, 2200 and all top noch grade, not one stripped yet

staineless is weeker, I dont know why people pay more for it...ok it doesnt rust, but it breaks and stripps, find alloy screws that are 8.0 grade or higher, mine are 12.
