Baller Bolts

[JDS Performance]

Why not just use new stronger bolts...they come in yellow zinc, stainless steel, black steel, blue steel - really they will look just as good IMO and alot cheaper...

[MrSanchez925]

mainly looking for engine bay dress up (color options)

but would you be able to point me in the right direction of where to order newer bolts for the rest of the suspension ?

I'm also not sure what size, and length each bolt is.

Unfortunately my car is my daily so I can afford to take things apart, get measurements, put it back together and find retailers for these sizes.

Do you even know what the hell you're talking about? This dude orders most of his stuff from Darling Bolt. They've had stuff in stock over the past year, trust me, I've got stuff from them.

Ryan is selling 10.9 and 12.9 bolts. It won't get much stronger than that without hitting up the few manufacturers for superalloy fasteners. And at that point, you're just wasting money IMO.

Awww did I hit a nerve... Business and customers are great!
I don't but anything from darling or whoever you said...never even heard of them...
It doesn't matter who is a good guy or not...these people are concerned about their business manners..which with a track record like this isn't looking too good...

What are you talking about? You were saying that Ryan is setting up to manufacture bolts since you say it costs so much, but he told me he only buys from Darling. Darling has had a supply of bolts the past year, so that is a lie if Ryan, or his supplier, are waiting for a large enough order to manufacture them, as Darling has had stock the past year and Cabs has been waiting a year for his damn order.
Are you Ryan? If so, then you lied to me about buying all your shit from Darling. Which isn't too surprising. But it also makes sense why Darling has never heard of you. If you're not Ryan, why are you making it sound like you are?

Again, what are you talking about? Ryan Hamilton aka Baller Bolts?

I order driveshaft bolts 2/14/13 still havent received. Them i made the mistake not using paypal. But this guy customer service sucks. Doesnt contact you with tracking number. Lucky i only spent 18 bucks. But warning dont order anything from this guy

[beems240sx]

damn was going to place my order tonight, thanks zilvia for saving my bank account. guess ill head to the hardware store and not be lazy.

[SicBastard]

I'm another sucker...

Even after reading all the horrible reviews on their own facebook page I placed an order of a bunch of custom stainless ARP fasteners for all of my engine acc. The showed up two weeks later... All black oxide. Voice mail box is always full, and no response to three seperate e-mails over the last month. It's too bad, because I've yet to find another vender that lists the ARP catalog simply by bolt sizes and makes it easy to order and see what the cost would be. I'm escalating this to my credit card company since BB refuses to answer my e-mails. There's no excuse for not answering e-mails and your phone when operating an internet based company.

Not sure what your needing but I sell ARP intake manifold bolt/stud kit, ARP flywheel bolts, ARP clutch bolts and serviced ARP main stud kit for the sr...lmk

[godrifttoday]

I can get all your bolt needs!

[Lees_Garage]

I have had and order in with Baller Bolts well over 6 months, dozens of calls and emails. Voicemail is full, rarely replies to emails. I have never received my product. At this point I have just wrote it off as a loss.

Yup I also tried to get the drive shaft bolts. Go ahead and order they said. It'll take a while but you'll get them they said.

Order placed back on October 15th 2012... Its almost April 2013 now. Five and a half MONTHS with ZERO response to any emails or anything. Totally unacceptable way to run a business.

I'm out $18 because I paid with paypal and it's been too long to go through them to resolve the issue. I'll never tell anyone to deal with this vendor. At least I didn't spend a lot.

What are you talking about? I've mentioned MANY alternatives throughout this whole thread.

[cgtdream]

Another sucker here....Ordered this february and still nothing....Shouldnt have to do this, but ill until after my deployment. If they havent shipped or gotten into contact with me by then, im going to the BBB and at least sending up a formal complaint/warning or something...

This kind of business practice is horrible and they shouldnt even be advertised or brought up in any respectable sense....

[Beejis60]

Try filing false charges with your CC company. It's illegal to take a payment and not send anything. Violation of the Fair Credit Billing Act and is therefore a federal offense.

Have you not read this thread!!!?

I just got my money refunded to me by mastercard. Apparently BB doesn't even respond them!

Wow, that's sad. He would only respond to me when I would threaten him with false credit charges through my CC company. Now he's not even doing that?

How long over a week? I think you may be overreacting a little bit. I'm not saying you will get your bolts any time soon but sometimes you need to have patience to play this game.

[JDS Performance]

why are you people still buying from thid socalled company? Shame on you. .. research everyone before you buy anything these days. .. plus you might be surprised at the deals you can find. ..I always email people and companies for even better deals!

Going on 2 weeks... these days it is unacceptable to not respond to any emails or phone calls... its only 4 nuts, bolts & washers... seriously how long could that take to throw in an envelope?

This was my mistake - I saw someone recently bought some bolts for suspension build so I figured they were ok (didnt see this thread obviously)
