Really nice guy he sends kits all over world for all kinds of exotics. Very simple system. I visited his shop in League City Tx last Spring and saw install on a Ford GT. Owner/inventor is working on a system for stock leaf springs.
If they're in League City I'm definately interested

No you can not. They are not for sale to individuals... at least that was the case when I researched it. Even the company that engineer them does not market them. - Dario -

For the price they want for the kit.... it would be cheaper to buy 4 extra sets of ZR1 splitters....

GT3 / GT3 RS

With KW Variant 3 Coilovers

Front Only HLS $8750
Front & Rear HLS $10200

For Stock Suspension

Front Only HLS $5375
Front & Rear HLS $6950

The ram lift pro is under 2k, but then I'm guessing in order to add it to coilovers you have to add a smaller coil over spring to account for the extra 2.5 inches of height the device adds when u put it in?

Sound like a good system, but would like to see whats involved to adding it to some Pfadt coilovers.

Go to ramliftpro.com
The guys name is Simon Hameka. Really nice guy I've seen his system in person. Very nicely done. He is located SE of Houston.
He customizes each kit to fit your needs.

We currently build a variation of the GTM in house. We have air bags on one of our cars and I tell you, if you want some junk we'll sell you a used set. We have a custom built air ride technologies system on our car, and it's pure crap. Rides like crap, handles like crap....is crap.

According to ex-chief engineer Dave Hill, the air dam is designed to ocassionaly scrape. I guess I've been lucky and have my front spoiler intact even though my car has been lowered and the bushings cut. Remembering to approach an inclined driveway on an angle is a must. I'm more afraid of hitting a small animal in the road.

I'm lowered on coilovers. If my car didn't scrape I'd think something was wrong with it.

If you're having issues with it, give me a call @ 812-481-4742. I had a hand in the original development of the kit for those cars.

You and me both!! My car is lowered on Bilstein/HYPERCO coiliovers and I have a ZR1 splitter that I've ground/scraped/bashed to pieces twice. Thankfully, I've got a local body guy who re-glasses and repaints it for $150 with a two day turnaround. Still, I'd LOVE to have a front lift system to get in and out of my driveway and clear speedbumps.
