Costs will be far less than picking up an after market subframe. The only material items we will need are a bit of steel, a set of double adjustable coil over shocks, and a big maybe on a Chicane kit. I dont see costs going over $1500 and thats including the chicane kit. In addition, time will be on our side as I dont intend on signing up for any events between October and Aptil so Vince will be able to plug in as time allows. I dont think relocating attachment points for the control arms would take more than two days as long as we can keep our noses to the grind stone. lowers will be the easiest as all we will have to do is drill holes and relocate. Uppers will take a little more time as we will have to cut existing attachment point of arm, measure and cut correctly, and then reweld. Shocks will need to be installed at correct operational height and the shock mount tower can be custom or we may do a chicane kit depending on the length of shock dictated in the chicane system. 650 lb coil over springs can be had in a 10" but 700 lb jumps to 12" and I want the 12" option available if needed. My guess is another day on the shock tower assembly.
There is alot of time between now and October and things could change but for now this is the plan.
