About Checkered Racing

Your suspension connection.

From street rods to race cars, Checkered Racing builds and sells custom chassis products and suspension components for the project in your garage.

Who we are

Built around the way you build.

Checkered Racing fabricates and sells a complete line of back halves and front ends, along with complete frames and the chassis components that tie a build together. Today the catalog pairs our own chassis products with suspension parts from established performance brands, so you can source the foundation and the components in one place.

  • Order at the stage of completion you want
