Hey have you heard of Magnum Force Racing? Asking as I have tried to contact them for almost 2 years. Loads of emails to someone called Jen as well as their info address without ever getting a response. Is the company possibly bankrupt or similar? think it seems so strange to deal with prospective customers hmmm. Any idea?

Well no not dependent on them, luckily it looks like picking up parts with Cass D.r Diff we will go ahead with custom disc brakes off the market. We will have to do some machine work ourselves but this should be able to push the project forward.
It's really a shame that Wilwood has such a sales partner as MF.

Magnum Force was started by a Guy in the mid to late 80's in Campbell Ca. ( San Jose). he looked like the guy on the Zig Zag papers with hair down to his waist. Had a Blown BB 73? Charger all black. To my knowledge, he never ran it anywhere, street or track. The business grew and he expanded. I believe the covid thing and supply shortage may have put a big dent in his ability to deliver product. Or possibly he's just winding it down. shruggyThere have been several reported failures with his suspension kits over the years. I have seen both his and RMS. There is no comparison IMO.
Jen has been there for years and I would not recommend them for anything. Especially Suspension upgrades. RMS has the market cornered there twocents

FYI Magnum Force Racing is under construction of a new Facility after moving from Campbell, CA to Nevada. They have been filling orders when available, but items like WIlwood rotors, dropped spindles and US certified steel and chromoly tubing were delayed due to pandemic and shipping delays. Even the new shop construction is delayed for completion due to a personnel shortage and materials costs in the area. If anyone needs assistance, please feel free to PM me and I can reach out to the owner and the shop staff for any inquires. I have been to their temporary facility this last November and are at a slow pace due to personnel shortage. Most items are build as ordered, so it could be weeks til they get to building a set-up for someone. Also, some of the high-end/popular muscle car shops have them shipping out regularly, so a quicky order from someone won't be processed in a timely order. One of their main problems is that Wilwood brakes has their rotors shipped from over sea and has been in constant delay with filling these orders. Magnum Force is the highest seller of Mopar only Wilwood kits out there, so they run out of stock faster than some of the smaller shops that don't have as high of a volume. I am considering using Dr Diff brake on my Magnum Force kits because of the delays. In fact I keep forgetting to call them to help with stuff like update and such. Will update when something comes up. I just spoke to Jen a few minutes ago, so I'm not sure when you spoke to her. They are bombarded with calls constantly so you probably got missed. Once again, if someone has questions, please pm me if you have an inquiry.

It's better to keep your mouth shut and give the impression that you're stupid than to open it and remove all doubt.

No, I do not work for them. I dealt with them regularly and have been very friendly with the owner and staff over the last 25 years. Most of the time I see people posting stuff l will come in and comment. They have had to move shops twice in 4 years, so it was very difficult to do business. Their earlier stuff 12-15 years ago did have issues do to a with welding, but I have not heard of any current issues on their new kit, the ‘Transformer’ which was suited for more severe street/racing unlike those earlier set-up that is used for mainly drag racing now.

Once again, if someone is having trouble reaching the shop, please feel free to pm me and I will reach out to them.

RMS is over the top in many ways. having dealt with both
RMS is unequalled in my opinion for 4 reasons.
1.Their stuff actually fits with ZERO mod's
2. It is better designed / engineered
3. Support if needed, is a phone call away
4. Their stuff works.

I will have to agree with all of these comments except there are a few mods that need to be done to the car at least on an e-body, and when i have called i actually talked to bill the owner and he answered my questions without any BS.

Actually, he ran that Charger out at Ringwood Avenue all the time back in the mid to late 80’s.


'67 is an abbreviation of 1967
67' is an abbreviation of 67 feet
They are not interchangeable.

I got out of the street racing around 1980 but was active with Street rods. He was a reqular at some of the Thursday night gatherings especially the one on Winchester between Hamilton and Campbell Ave. wink

up Never did an E body, but if there was a question Bill was always right there. IMO when I look at the offerings from both companies, there is no comparison. Again my opinion wink

I do plan on getting another Transformer assembly from Magnum Force for my 1970 Cuda. I do love the boxed lower control arms, three different types of chromoly tubular upper control arms. I currently have their double adjustable one on the car and we were able to tweak the handling issues that plaque it when we found out thw previous owner did with spindles from a 1975/76 Roadrunner, cordoba brakes and truck bushings. The car was soo bad before, it was only cruiser at 33mph, then would go funky phantom all over the place. With their arms, Blistein shocks and Hotchkis leads, that car would go 95mph before the tow truck camshaft in the well worn 440 would lose power.
Hope to have both cars done so I can show people how well it drives compared to stock.if nobody buys my last car, probably put a Transformer on it so I have a track car I can enjoy. The pic with the non adjustable arm went on easily and work well on my 72’ project.

Miguel, you DO know that a properly rebuilt and set up Torsion bar suspension will outhandle any coil over replacement suspension for about HALF the price, right?
