Oh and PS Mr. Ron Sutton for President!!!!!
Just an FYI ...
My Track-Star line of suspensions are far from "bolt-in".
They require professional level fabrication & welding. Just saying this so there is no confusion.

For my clients that want to bolt in a higher level of technology & performance, I typically go one of two routes:
1. We work out their existing geometry, then I work up a harmonious suspension package of individual components from companies I like their stuff like Ridetech, Speedtech, Maier, JRi, etc. Together, we improve their suspension & steering geometry ... and put a more modern suspension package under the car. Almost always I've mapped out the correct sway bar & spring rates for a neutral, balanced handling vehicle. Plus we make the car run flatter (less roll angle) & run some level of higher grip shock valving.

2. Now with the Speedtech line of chassis & front subframes coming out, with optimized geometry from me, I simply work up the correct sway bar & spring rates for a neutral, balanced handling vehicle, make the car run flatter (less roll angle) & run some level of higher grip shock valving.

Those two routes above are how I work with my clients doing bolt-in projects. But I have quite a few projects in the works (most without build threads) with DIY clients or shops installing my custom Track-Star front subframes with long-arm, zero-scrub, high travel suspensions ... and/or four different versions of my Track-Star offset 3-links ... like Ron Myer's in this thread.
