Jeez..no details on what you have to do to install it. Looks like you have to cut the stock frame front suspension coil towers out.

MORE DETAIL!!!
Thanks

Details are on their website. They also have some great instructional videos on youtube. You have to ream out the upper shock hole to 3/4" and also drill some holes for sway bar mounts IIRC (definitely for the rear).

The rear setup, if you don't use a sway bar, is 100% bolt-in.

How would I lower the front end a bit?

It's a typical coilover setup - you use a spanner wrench to lower the spring perch. Raising the spring perch raises the car.

The trailing arm also has two attachment points to add an extra 1" of adjustment in back.

Congrats on the award fellas! It is a very nice and innovative suspension package!!

If I was starting from zero again, I would probably be buying it.

That being said, I already have $$$$ invested in a complete aftermarket suspension on my vette, so I won't be changing all of it anytime soon.

However, I would buy drop front spindles and a differential crossmember that raises the diff and is mounted using poly or solid bushings, and I am willing to bet that I am not alone. There is a market for these items.

Another item I would buy would be dropped rear shock mounts; my car is lowered, and it would be an easy way to gain back some shock travel.

Send me some info and pics of what you currently have and I would be glad to see if I have anything that would work with your current setup.

I like that Idea Unfortunately we don't do much in the way of product discounts. Let me know where you are located and I can try to guide you towards a dealer in your area that can work with you!
