That is a very simple setup to duplicate. It can be done for around $150 at most and most parts are available at Coleman racing and a little fabricating/welding is required.

glad to see ppl talking about this again . . . the one thing that keeps c3's from being brought into the 21st century . . .

anyone know if the Guldstrand will work with the Tom's Differential 12-bolt rear end conversion?

be horrendously expensive, i know, but if you wanna drag and autocross/roadrace, are there many other options . . .?

Guys I can afford anything I want but I still hate being ripped off. If I can put something together for $100 myself why pay someone else $500 ?
I don't think you can do it that cheap; let me give you my credit card information, you show me then send me the goods

In all seriousness though, I'm extremely interested in one if you ever decide to make money. You know your **** better than alot of manufacterers even of some of these parts and I would feel safe with your setup. If you ever make a kit for the weekend warrior (mostly bolt on ) PM me!

Cost of 6 link, 2 sleeves, 4 rod ends (2 lh 2 rh) 4 lock nuts (2lh 2 rh), 4 5/8 UNF bolts, 4 5/8 UNF nuts, piece of 5mm ir si steel, some fabricating skills, a drill bit, saber saw/cutting disc/bandsaw..whatever. IF you want to replace the lwoer struts w/ sleeces & rod ends, add 2 l & 2 r rod ends, 2 l & 2 r lock nuts and 2 bolts (the shock pin is 5/8"), also you will want to add some form od rod end spacer at all locations, those things are cheap also. I can not see 500$ going into this.
