The origin of our logo and Chief Niwot
Some have asked about SPC's logo depicting a Plains Indian profile wearing a war bonnet or headdress. We are incorporated as Niwot Corporation dba Specialty Products Company to honor Chief Niwot also known as Chief Left Hand. Chief Niwot was a tribal leader of the Southern Arapahoe people and our corporate logo today honors the peace seeking leader who was uniquely qualified to guide his people in a tumultuous time. His ability to speak Arapahoe, Cheyenne, and English as well as his reported physical stature gave his culture the best opportunity to survive the waves of gold rush prospectors and then settlers coming to the Front Range of the Rocky Mountains. Sadly, Chief Niwot and some 180 other Arapahoe and Cheyenne people lost their lives in the Sand Creek massacre in 1864. This massacre ultimately led President Lincoln to call for a congressional investigation that resulted in the removal of Governor Evans from office and Colorado being placed under martial law.
To read more about Chief Niwot and the life of the Arapahoe people in Colorado and this important part of the history of our state, you can start at Wikipedia, Chief Niwot. You may also be interested to read ‘Chief Left Hand: Southern Arapahoe’ by Margaret Coel. Chief Niwot left an enduring legacy in the Boulder Valley and the State of Colorado.

PURCHASE ORDER TERMS AND CONDITIONS
By accepting this Purchase Order (hereinafter referred to as "the Order") the Vendor accepts the Terms and Conditions included herein, unless the Vendor notifies Specialty Products Company (hereinafter referred to as "the Buyer") of the Vendor's objections.
1. ACKNOWLEDGMENT AND ACCEPTANCE OF ORDER This Order constitutes an offer from the Buyer that is expressly limited to the Terms and Conditions contained herein. The Terms and Conditions of this Order are those that apply to the purchase of materials, items, products, components or services (hereinafter referred to as "Material"). All exhibits, attachments, technical specifications, drawings, notes, instructions, or information referenced in the Order are incorporated herein by reference. These Terms and Conditions control unless they are specifically varied or contradicted by one of the following methods in the listed order of precedence; 1.) Varying terms on the face of this Order, 2.) A current existing Master Purchase Agreement, 3.) Another valid contract between the Buyer and the Vendor to which this Order applies. All other prior oral or written statements varying the Order are specifically rejected and disclaimed.
2. CHANGES/AMENDMENTS The Buyer shall have the right at any time, by written notice, in the form of a Change Order, to the Vendor, to make any changes it deems necessary, including, but not limited to, changes in specifications, design, delivery, testing methods, packing or destination. If any such required changes cause an increase or decrease in the cost of or the time required for performance, an equitable adjustment shall be made in the contract price or delivery schedule, or both. Any claim by the Vendor for adjustment under this clause shall be deemed waived unless asserted in writing within ten (10) days from receipt by the Vendor of notice of change. Price increases, extensions of time for delivery and change in quantity shall not be binding on the Buyer unless evidenced by a form of Change Order issued and signed by the Buyer.
3. DELIVERY/FORCE MAJEURE If any Material is not delivered by the date specified herein, the Buyer reserves the right, without liability, to cancel this Order as to any Material not yet shipped or tendered, and to purchase substitute Material and to charge the Vendor for any loss incurred. Oral cancellation notices, made by the Buyer or the Vendor, are effective when made, but must be confirmed in writing. Any provisions hereof for delivery by installment shall not be construed as making the obligations of the Vendor severable. The Buyer shall have the right to refuse deliveries made more than one week in advance of any delivery schedule appearing in this Order unless arrangements for such early delivery have been confirmed with the receiving party.
The Vendor shall notify the Buyer in writing promptly of any delays (however caused) and of any actual potential labor dispute which delays or threatens to delay the timely performance of this Order.
If the Vendor is unable to complete performance at the time specified for delivery hereunder, by reason of strikes, labor disputes, riot, war, fire or other causes beyond the Vendor's reasonable control, the Buyer, at his option, may elect to take delivery of Material hereunder in its unfinished state and to pay such proportion of the contract price as the work then completed bears to the total work hereunder and to cancel this Order without liability as to the balance of the Material covered hereunder.
4. TITLE AND RISK OF LOSS Terms of shipping are F.O.B. the Buyer's delivery location unless otherwise noted within the terms of this Order.
5. PRICE/TAXES Prices stated on the Order hereof are firm and shall remain firm until deliveries have been completed unless otherwise expressly agreed to in writing by both parties. The Vendor agrees that any price reduction made with respect to Material covered by this Order subsequent to placement will be applied to this Order. All prices specified herein include all charges for, but not limited to, inspection, and packaging. Prices set forth are exclusive of applicable sales, use, excise, value-added or similar taxes. The Buyer is exempt from the Colorado’s Sales and Use Tax Law (state id number 21-02243) on items that it will be reselling. The Buyer will furnish the Vendor with a tax certificate upon request.
6. WARRANTIES The Vendor warrants that any Material supplied hereunder shall conform to the generally recognized manufacturing and safety standards of the Vendor's industry in the United States and shall meet or exceed the Vendor's specifications.
In addition to any other express or implied warranties, the Vendor warrants that the Material furnished pursuant to this Order will be: (a) free from defects in title, workmanship and material and clear of any liens and encumbrances; (b) free from defects in design except to the extent that such items comply with detailed designs provided by the Buyer; (c) of merchantable quality and suitable for the purposes, if any, which are stated on this Order.
If any material covered by this Order is found not to be as warranted, the Buyer may, by written notice to the Vendor: (a) rescind this Order as to such non-conforming Material; (b) accept such Material at an equitable reduction in price; (c) reject such non-conforming Material and require the delivery of suitable replacements.
If the Vendor fails to deliver suitable replacements promptly, the Buyer, with notice of five business days, may replace or correct such Material and charge the Vendor the additional cost occasioned the Buyer thereby, or terminate this Order for default.
Any items corrected or furnished in replacement are subject to all the provisions of this article entitled WARRANTIES to the same extent as items initially furnished or originally ordered.
Cost of replacement, rework, inspection, repackaging and transportation of such corrected Material shall be at the Vendor's expense.
This warranty provision shall survive any inspection, delivery, acceptance, payment, expiration or earlier termination of this Order and such warranties shall run to the Buyer, its successors, assigns, employees, students, and users of the Material. Nothing herein, however, shall limit the Buyer's rights in law or equity for damages resulting from delivery of defective goods or damage caused during the delivery of goods or provision of services.
Rights granted to the Buyer in this article entitled WARRANTIES are in addition to any other rights or remedies provided elsewhere in this Order or in Law.
7. INSPECTION AND ACCEPTANCE The Vendor shall inspect all Material prior to shipment to the Buyer. All Material covered by this Order may be inspected and tested by the Buyer or its designee. If the Buyer so elects to inspect or test successful completion of such inspection and testing shall be a prerequisite to the Buyer's acceptance of the Material. If deemed necessary by the Buyer, the Vendor shall provide without charge, all reasonable facilities and assistance for such inspection and test.
Any inspection records relating to Material covered by this Order shall be available to the Buyer during the performance of this Order and for such longer periods as specified by the Buyer. If any Material covered by this Order is defective or otherwise not conforming with the requirements of this Order, the Buyer may, by written notice to the Vendor: (a) rescind this Order as to such non-conforming Material; (b) accept such Material at an equitable reduction in price; (c) reject such non-conforming Material and require the delivery of suitable replacements; (d) accept shipment and receive credit for labor and materials consumed in the rework activity. If the Vendor fails to deliver suitable replacements promptly, the Buyer, with notice of five business days, may replace or correct such Material and charge the Vendor the additional cost occasioned the Buyer thereby, or terminate this Order for default. Cost of replacement, rework, inspection, repackaging and transportation of such corrected materials shall be at the Vendor’s expense. Additionally, Buyer costs for value added to defective Goods are recoverable from the Vendor. Buyer reserves the right to charge the Vendor an “Administrative Fee” of $ 250 per defective item following multiple product quality failures. No inspection (including source inspection) test, approval (including design approval) or acceptance of Material shall relieve the Vendor from responsibility for defects or other failures to meet the requirements of this Order. Rights granted to the Buyer in this article entitled INSPECTION are in addition to any other rights or remedies provided elsewhere in this Order or in Law. Buyer’s failure to inspect does not relieve Vendor of any responsibility to perform according to the terms of this purchase order.
8.

The Buyer shall have no liability to the Vendor beyond payment of any balance owing for Material purchased hereunder and delivered to and accepted by the Buyer prior to the Vendor's receipt of the notice of termination, and for work in progress requested for delivery to the Buyer.
13. RESCHEDULING The Buyer may without liability at least fourteen (14) days prior to the scheduled delivery date appearing on the Order defer delivery on any or every item under said Order by giving oral notice to the Vendor (confirmed in writing within ten (10) working days) of any necessary rescheduling.

19. WAIVER The failure of the Buyer to insist in any instance upon the strict performance of any provision of this Order, or to exercise any right or privilege granted to the Buyer hereunder shall not constitute or be construed as a waiver of any such provision or right and the same shall continue in force.
20.

Benefits of a proper alignment A correct alignment has more benefits than prolonged tire wear. |
|
Prolong Tire Life
The reason most people get an alignment. With the high cost of tires, it is important to get the most out of your investment.
|
|
Improve Handling
Increase stability in severe weather and on bad roads. Can help to elminate vehicle 'pull'.
|
|
Increase Gas Mileage
Use less fuel and save fuel dollars. Great for the wallet and for the environment. |
|
Reduce Suspension Parts Wear
Minimize future repair costs. |
|
Improve Safety
Help eliminate unsafe drifting and unstable steering problems. |
Basic Alignment
- Category: subpages
- Tuesday, 26 October 2010 16:05
What is alignment? Wheel alignment consists of adjusting the angles of wheels so that they are parallel to each other and perpendicular to the ground while ensuring the front and rear tires 'track' correctly. Often a tire shop or a mechanic will notice unusual tire wear and check the alignment to see if that is the cause of the improper wear. Sometimes a suspension component wears unusually which could also be a sign of a vehicle that is 'out of alignment'. If a customer complains of erratic handling or 'pulling' the mechanic will check the alignment to see if that is the reason for the customer's concern. Alignment angles can also be altered beyond the maker's specifications to obtain distinct characteristics. Racing, raising and lowering the vehicle (for appearance or handling), and off-road applications often mean that the different alignment angles will be set beyond what is 'normal' for the vehicle to met the customer's requirements. |
Types of Alignments A Two Wheel or Front End Alignment only aligns the two front wheels in relation to each other. This does not take into account the position of the rear axle. Mechanical gauges are normally used for this type of alignment. Almost all modern alignment is design to complete a Thrust Angle or Four Wheel Total Alignment.
A Thrust Alignment is usually performed on vehicles with a solid rear drive axle. Solid rear axle vehicles normally have no provisions for alignment adjustment. The alignment angles on all four wheels are read by the alignment equipment but only the front axle is adjusted. The front alignment angles are set parallel to the rear wheels thrust line. This is better than a two wheel alignment but there can still be issues with pulling and steering wheel position.
A Four Wheel Total Alignment is performed on vehicles with independent rear suspension that have alignment adjustment on both front and rear axles. Both axles are adjusted to the vehicle centerline. This insures the vehicle will track straight and the steering wheel will be centered. On all types of alignments the front and rear suspensions may require additional parts in order to make the proper alignment adjustments.

Coil Spring Spacer
- Category: subpages
- Monday, 29 June 2015 19:29
Coil Spring Spacers
Ride height can greatly affect alignment angles. Coil spring spacers can restore vehicle trim height and correct ride height issues associated with sagging springs and/or suspension modifications. Coil spring spacers allow shock absorbers and struts to operate through their normal range for longer life. Correct ride height will also improve vehicle ride, stability, and appearance. Spacers are aluminum and include one per package.
Note: When installed on front Short/Long Arm suspensions the vehicle height will usualy be raised 2-1/2 to 3 times the spacer thickness. On rear coil spring systems the vehicle height will usually be raised 1-1/4 to 1-1/2 times spacer thickness. Find a desired thickness from the options below to see the available spacers in that size.
We also have Coil Spring Stabilizers - see below. We have a limited Coil Spring Spacers application chart available for some vehicles. Click here to download. |

Proper alignment is impossible unless coil springs are operating at originally designed height. Two stabilizers are recommended per coil spring. If front stabilizers are rubbing against the spring well housing the stabilizer must be installed from the inside of the coil springs. Four per pack. Due to the curvature of some springs, two sizes may be required for the same spring (Example: 24700 on inside of coil, 24750 on outside). When measuring and installing stabilizers, one space should be skipped between coils. |
Stabilizer Heights – NARROW UNITS for small diameter (.58”) coil springs

Stabilizer Heights – REGULAR UNITS for average diameter (.63”) coil springs
