Viagra!! Just kidding. Engman was the most popular, but now that he has passed away most people are installing Maddogs kit. I have the Engman kit and I am very happy with it. The car feels a lot stiffer, especially over bumps and rail road tracks.

I have Brad Mauyer's kit installed on my car. Unlike the Engman kit, it goes on the outside of the longs, and goes all the way from the front of the car to the suspension mounting point on the rear. Even with the six, I can jack the car up on one side and it doesn't flex.
Two thumbs up for the Brad Mauyer kit. |

You can also get an outer clamshell kit from Restoration Design, but it doesn't support the outer suspension mount like Brad Mayeur's kit. For maximum rigidity (and weight) some guys use Brad's outer kit with the inner kit.
