FAQ

What does a parachute kit include?
Most kits contain the parachute itself, pack or bag, pilot chute, mounting bracket, release cable, and required hardware for installation. Read product details for exact contents.

How do I choose the right size parachute for my car?
Consider your vehicle’s weight, speed, and the deceleration required. Our team or the product guides can help you select the correct size and chute type for your setup.

Is installing a parachute difficult?
Most kits are designed for straightforward bolt-on installation, but some fabrication may be needed based on vehicle or mounting location. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions carefully or consult a professional installer.

Do you carry replacement parachute components?
Yes! We offer replacement chutes, pilot chutes, bags, cables, mounting brackets, spring launchers, and more for easy repairs and maintenance after use.
