Looks like a well made kit but what is the goal here? You may want to also look at the Rebel Racing 935 front suspension kit at near half the price .

In either case though I question what the benefits are outside of a racing environment?

the RSR front solid bushing setup is amazing, anything beyond that seems like it might be overkill for anything but the most serious track cars.

I've been toying with going to the Elephant GT3 set up. I happily admit a major part of it for me (beyond the fact that it works) is simply that it's beautiful. And I love functional beauty.
Tony (Cracker) is running near Cup car pace with raised spindles/torsion bars so for essentially all of us, IMO, it's jewelry.

Wonderfully drool-worthy, pure sex jewelry. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drooley.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif)

Slippery slope, indeed. I say enjoy the ride down that slope!

Reinforce the shock towers if you go this route. It only works with coil springs, which means all of the load gets transferred to the tops of the towers, instead of just shock loads.
