I just purchased a 67 notchback barracuda with a backhalf and it now has a wornout pinto rack frontend which needs to be replaced ASAP. I'm looking at this setup but not sure.www.Gerstsuspensions.com Going to pull the trigger on Monday but need one that has a decent steering radius, mine now is horrible.

The only difference may be a little track width difference. That said, travel with all of them can be equal to stock. The limiting factor if there is one, will be how the shocks are mounted and the amount of travel they have. The one pictured seems to be very similar to an RMS, so I am betting it has the same travel

After inspecting the floor model, i was impressed. I wanted to buy one that day, but he had sold out of them. He said he brought a few with him and they all sold before Saturday. I hope some people start reporting on how they like them. He seems like a stand up guy with a nice product at a reasonable price. Matt

My memory is not what it used to be, but I thought the kit was around $2,400. I have priced out all of the kits on the market, and I remember the GTS kit being cheaper, and just as nice as the others. He could have raised the price, or i could be wrong. I wish i could be more help, but my brain just does not function like it once did.
