I'd imagine that these systems are designed with stockish Mopars in mind, or for the pro-touring crowd... with their generally heavier (loaded) cars. I imagine the system's capabilities would be just that much better if i could get my E-body down to about 3000lbs...??? Hmmm... drive it next year with this system? or drive it in a month without...???

It makes sense. Its just that ever since i had my first nice Challenger years and years ago i wanted one with a fully rebuilt and high-performance suspension. That was my dream. Everything else i can scab up... but the possibility ov having such a system on a good car for once in my life... Its kinda hard to pass up. I have ALWAYS had to drive on junk. Even my Charger with its rebuilt poly everything KYB factory HP spring rate suspension never really worked the way it should have. And the way things work, a year would turn into five... by which time the rest would be toast already. Hmmm... torn... what to do what to do... Its goddamn $3600 to my door... Thats brutal.

I would wait until the end of the year and see if Summit has a sale. I purchased mine from Summit when they had a 10% sale on Hotchkis and there was 15% discount code that came out at the same time. Paid about $1850 for the TVS kit for my 70 Challenger. Noticed they did have a price increase after the first of the year. I finally drove my car last week for the 1st time with the TVS kit and it handles like a modern car now.

Life gets in the way and if i dont spend it on something useful and concrete now... right now... it'll be pissed away before i know it.

That way, I don't have to tear stuff back apart later. I did not get the upper control arms...not yet, frame connectors, etc... Made it far more affordable and made a big difference. I did end up buying the shocks after I had installed everything up to that point. Wish I had gotten that 25% off them! I bought from Matts Classic Chevelle online/ebay for a fair discount off list on most of it. Steve
