Shoot me their info. Also if you can show me pics of yours.
They don't cut any deals, I think they charged me $1700 for the front and $1950 for the rear. The fact that you don't have any braces to begin with might end up costing you even more if they have to fabricate mounting brackets and such. I am out of town in Texas right now and their info is back at my office. I will be home later this week and I will forward you their info as soon as I get home.

Lift on the inside rear was a huge issue with the Quaife but I am not so worried with our heavy cars. I just don't see me inner rear lifting up...

Maybe while Jangy is under there he can do some more research.
Sorry bro. Airmatic removal is not my goal. I want better geometry.

A strut bar for the front is easy. You could even easily add an adjustable one. The strut tower support is also doable, but slight plastic needs to be cut out of the way. I am having both made as we type. The rear bar is also being made but requires the rear sub to be removed to replace it.

Last thing, I really thing bushings are key. Mine are trashed under there and that has to be a sign. So, the project just dropped by a few days while we figure bushing out as well....

Hey Jangy, I thought the same thing in my stang until I ran didicated slicks. You will be amazed at the amount of grip that slicks or even R-type tires can generate. If you have a larger rear bar than stock, aka more than 20% stiffer and run sticky tires, even these heavy cars could lift one when pushing it. Just FYI here. Good luck

See yeah
