I'll watch this post with interest, I too need to do this, but I need the rear kit as well, so any input to both ends would be good.

Cheers, Dennis.

if you want stock it is fine, but if you want to upgrade in performance I would look at VBP, they have full suspension kits that will make your shark perform like a modern car... A BIG difference.

Cheap parts are not good. Good parts are not cheap.

If you order from Ecklers be prepared to wait over 6 weeks and deal with bad customer service.
