I have their kit on mine. It was a pretty simple install other than that I have 13" brakes with wilwood's and stainless braided brake lines, and where the bracket is mounted on the passenger side trailing arm (the bracket where the brake lines meet) the angle/location would have pushed the brake line between the coils of the coilover, so it was a quick cut and re-weld of the bracket to the trailing arm.
From seat of the pants testing, I love it, I think the car handles better (I do have coilovers all round, with the Meyer kit and QA1's up front), it is adjustable height wise, reduced weight and IMHO the rear looks a lot cleaner without the big spring going from side to side.

Nick, how is the adjustability and what kind of horse power are you producing. Did you weld the upper shock supports to your frame for a stronger mount? If you have the chance, give me a call at work some time 856-853-4435, Marty.
Thanks for the reply!
