Ben,
Good luck in your new business.

Blake,
Can we count on you to keep us updated on this project? I'm not to far behind you with my project and I'd love to see this package before I have to move forward with a stock style suspension.

YES here is an update. all the parts are designed, we have been waiting one one VERY cool new tool to arrive before we move forward on this project that is scheduled to arrive this week, then we can confirm all the fitment and have the parts laser cut and we will begin install in 2 weeks. we have a COMPLETE front center and rear set up. here is a bit of the run down

Front
Extreme "subframe/ K Member "
AFX / Extreme Spindles
Rack and Pinion
Ron Sutton shocks / coil over
Splined sway bar
and a few other surprises
there will be room for a 315!

mid section
will consist of weld in sub frame connectors Although they technically don't connect the sub frame probably floor stiffening kit would be a better name.
this will allow for the adjustable trans mount and torque arm mount and dual exhaust down the tunnel.

Rear suspension
our standard torque arm.
adjustable panhard bar set up with corrected roll center height adjust ability
our Articulink lower trailing arms
adjustable sway bar
Ron Sutton shock / coil over
we will have a mod for the rear wheel well to fit a 315 also. but as someone said above it is TIGHT!!

additional parts we will have
tunnel mod for trans position
headers
ls and LT motor mounts

mid august is the target to have the suspension installed.

:ups:

hmm.. subframe/k-member? If I were to buy this will I have to cut out the existing frame rails?

yes you will have to cut and weld.
the new X member will locate on 2 of the original k member mount holes.
the original front inner wheel well and strut tower remain unchanged.
the floor will need to be cut to install the "frame connector tubes which mount the trans X member and new Torque arm X member
the rear suspension is all bolt in. other than some reinforcement welding on the pan hard mount.

the laser parts are here this week an we will be assembling parts next week!!

Now this is what we have been waiting for.
