We will get on it soon. planning on mid June, first proto type is done and fit
We need to modify a few parts and do a full install.
The car will then be for sale as a project we will finish. once ready

All new parts are at laser cutter
installed the rear suspension ant it fit GREAT!!
changed the center frame kit to be more bolt in with less cutting. should be able to install in our test car in a few weeks.
also changed the front so it is easier to install still cutting and welding but much easier to do now.

Is the front going to be more of an SLA kit like the Mustangs have access to?

It is the Exact same as all our other Extreme subframes and chassis. complete weld in cross member that replaces the K member and struts are now GONE.

And the flanges in the wheel well for the top strut mount? Will the kit clean this up in some way or would we be left to figure out the body work?

Thats what I was afraid of. High dollar starting point and labor intensive to the point that most 3rd gen owners will just look past it. Its going to an amazing system but Im very doubtful it will sell well with what I know of the community. Sorry if Ive offended you its just disappointing to me

I can see where it would be difficult to make a state of the art suspension that would bolt in and sell for a couple grand.

Prices have been going up. I remember when I bought the speedtech rear torque arm for $2200 shipped, now its $2900 plus shipping.
