also what was the cost of the kit?? 1,200??

Yes the welds are super nice. The front perch (forlack of a better term) bolts to the front spring perch holes. You weld it up, place the jig in the front perch set up, do some measuring, spot weld the 4 link braces on, remove, and weld up. The biggie is the upper brace for the coil overs. It is different than the DSE piece in that it sets back farther and is strait across.

It was 1200.00 included the coil overs and the coil springs. All said and done, same than DSE mini tub.

I second that motion.

The thing about adjustable stuff is that it has to be adjusted. How hard is it to dial-in the 4-link?

Jake, no problem. I am trying to finish my rendering, I have a daughter that has had a 3 day volleyball tournament and I am real busy. I will lay it out in the floor of my garage and take pix.

Jan, what happens when you decide to change ride height for whatever reason.....if the PHB is fixed you are screwed.

It is also nice to be able to change roll center height once on the track to tune the rear end.

I emailed Scott some Pix of the set up. I had to find the box It came in. He's gonna make a new thread out of it. I just laid the parts out on my garage floor. They should be up tonight.
