Quite a bit of misinformation here.

Chad, right off the bat our Max-G chassis will set a car at least 4" lower than any other setup out there. That's a difference in CG height that makes a serious difference in handling. Having a center of gravity that low allows a 1.0+ lateral-G car ride like a 0.9 lateral-G car. There is no bolt-on setup out that that gives the advantages the Max-G does, not even close.

Pedals and seats tend not to be a problem in F-bodies because the floors don't actually sit that low, and headroom is more than decent to start with. Stock seat brackets are rediculously tall, and the mouting pad is only 3/4" below the rocker...you can keep the same amount of headroom with our chassis. We have some customers who are 6'3" and are more than comfortable with this setup.

Engine clearance typically isn't much of an issue because modern style engines are short to start with. Carb'd motors could be a problem, but we do have some chassis equipped with tall deck BBCs.

Lastly, history has shown us that resale value is significantly higher if equipped with our chassis, which is flattering for us to know that people hold our products with high regard. I'm not going to lie and say installing a Max-G chassis is cakewalk, but it may not be as bad as you think. If you have a Max-G install under your belt, it definetely seperates you from the bolt-on crowd.
