I now his first design had some problem was just looking at the design he had now Before you trust a word that AJ tells you, talk to people that have his system in their car and working. Trust me on this. http://www.ajeracing.com/mopar.phpThe stuff does look a lot different than the kit I got. Beware of the powder coating, it covers up a lot of sins.

John,if your interested we have some good used strut front end stuff at the shop,maybe a whole front strut frame section,Call AJ. John... this is your best bet... with that mega block on the front end you will add about 40# to the front weight.. you need the lightest front end out there.. thats struts... period

I'm betting its 40 plus pounds. I'm not a wheelie type of guy and this car did some higher than I prefer for the last owner and in doing so did the funky MOPAR front end movements.

The front suspension in my small tire car was made by Overkill Racecars. When I bought the car Stephen told me the front end could use some work especially since I planned on going from a small block to a big block. With the stock firewall we had to move a couple of bars in the front cradle (for oil pan clearance) and get the engine located before we could start getting the camber and toe-in straightened out. I tried to call Overkill to see if he had any suggestions but was unable to get a hold of him. I left a message an 6 weeks LATER he returned my call. He kinda came out and said WE meaning US had to fix his mess. Its not track tested yet but I think we have his kit mastered. Its a shame you have to fix someone's crap. http://www.overkillracecars.com/Products.html

Who makes these "strut" front ends this thread is talking about? I've never seen one. They're not a kit as such, any I have seen done were done by chassis shops or done by the owner themselves. Pretty simple really, fab up a K-Frame or cross member, make lower control arms and mounts for the top of the shock. I will see if I can find a pic
