Just done their 'camber plate' monoballs on mine through the GB agent, delivered direct from FVD. Good quality, but they cocked up my spacers, necessitating the agents to machine some up. The rears are not as low profile as some (ERP), so the harness is pushed up somewhat on its bracket.

HTH, cheers, Maurice

I visited their shop in Pompano Beach, Florida. Impressive facility and the stuff I purchased was fine.

FVD's dealer on the West Coast is/was Mike Schatz at Schatz Motorsports in Thousand Oaks, CA. I went to the FVD web site and didn't see, couldn't access the list of distributors.

I ordered monoballs from them and they arrived quickly, and were high quality. On my front mount, the second bushing is too tall for the shaft of the pss-9 (for the nut to seat completely on the shaft). Theo is working on getting me a smaller replacement bushing; have yet to recieve it though.
