Southside Machine Co. (SSM)????

I have Southside Machine Co (SSM) suspension parts. Has anyone heard of them or can anyone direct me to a website or descriptions of parts available?

well if you like clunky , noisy, drop your rear too much, harder than the rest to install, rip your torque boxes out in a mintue ....then yeah they were awesome.

my experience was they were junk

can't say i ever saw anything other than control arms though.

Why were they the ones to rip out torque boxes? mine ripped out too, even after i welded em up. although, i mist say, they made the car have hella bite at the track tho!
