Longtime chassis and suspension manufacturer S&W Performance Group will close its doors following months of operational and fulfillment challenges. The company said it will continue to work through remaining customer orders and process outstanding refunds during this final stage of operations, while also preparing to wind down the business and conduct a final inventory sale in the coming weeks.

S&W Performance made the following announcement in an email to industry members:

For many months now, we have been aware of the challenges our customers have faced when trying to reach us, the delays on orders, and the frustrations surrounding communication and fulfillment. We have listened to the concerns shared across emails, phone calls, forums, and social media, and we recognize that we have not met the standard that our community has expected from us. With that in mind, and after a great deal of reflection and planning, we have made the difficult decision to formally announce the closure of S&W Performance Group.

S&W has been a household name in the drag racing community for decades, especially throughout the Eastern Pennsylvania scene and beyond. From full chassis and roll cages to suspension components, engine mounting solutions, and countless custom applications, our parts have been used to build cars, win races, and support grassroots motorsports across the country. None of that would have been possible without the customers, fabricators, and supporters who stood behind this brand through every era of its existence. The loyalty shown to S&W over the years, even during our most difficult periods, is something we will always be deeply grateful for, and it is exactly why we owe everyone a transparent explanation of how we arrived at this point.

Several months ago, we issued a public apology regarding delays, pending orders, and outstanding refunds...

We want to be absolutely clear on one critical point: all pending orders are still being actively worked on and fulfilled to the best of our ability. Refunds owed to customers with canceled orders are also being processed as we work through our records and outstanding requests. We sincerely appreciate the patience that many of you have shown during this time, and we remain committed to resolving all open orders and financial obligations. If there are any changes, delays, or required updates regarding a specific order, customers will be contacted directly as we continue working through the queue.

Closing S&W is not a decision we take lightly. We understand that this announcement leaves a noticeable void in a niche industry and a community that has relied on our products for many years. It is deeply saddening to bring an end to a brand that has contributed so much to grassroots racing and fabrication. At the same time, we are incredibly thankful for the years we were able to serve this community, the relationships built, and the cars and projects that were brought to life using S&W parts.

As we begin this transition, we will be organizing a final inventory sale over the coming weeks. Remaining inventory will be offered at approximately 40% off to allow customers, shops, and racers the opportunity to stock up on parts that may become difficult to source in the future. A continuously updated inventory list will be posted on the homepage of our website, and we encourage those interested to check back regularly as availability will change on a daily basis while supplies last.

To everyone who has supported S&W Performance Group over the years—thank you. Thank you for your business, your loyalty, your patience, and even your honest criticism when we fell short. We are truly grateful to have been part of your builds, your race programs, and your shops for so long. We kindly ask for your continued patience as we work through remaining orders and refunds during this final stage. Serving this community has been an honor, and while this chapter is coming to a close, we will always be proud of the legacy S&W leaves behind.

Due to our phone system not being operational due to the transition of building ownership with the new tenants, please feel free to reach us at support@swracecars.com or 484-239-7939 if you have any requests, inquiries or questions.
