$4650 for the spindle mount front end kit.

I'm sure they have different kits, but if I were to ever upgrade from my Team Z stuff, that looks like its about the only option that would be any better. Suppose I should have clarified.

Dunno, car was straight as an arrow too. I'm guessing the manufacturing process isn't the greatest cause that's the only thing that I could think of.

So would I be able to do just the front or the rear and do the other later? And I'm meaning convert to coilover the works but not spindle mount

Yea you can do one at a time. Obviously either one you do first won't be working at full capacity until the other is done, but you're not going to hurt anything.

I must be a retard because I am not seeing that kit anywhere on the website. Either way, its probably something you will never need. As far as being any better, Team Z stuff is some of the best out there and the prices are close to or the same as the cheap chinese made junk that is on the market. Stronger, lighter, better craftsmanship and better fitment.

I like everything that I have gotten from Maximum Motorsports so far. (front coil overs, cc plates and rear extreme duty lca's) I only want to buy it once. You get what you pay for.

It's the first product showcased on the home page, lol... and no, not for any kind of street car it's not worth it. Not really worth it unless you're class racing and have money hanging out your anus.. which apparently you need to class race anyway.

100% agree with what you said about Team Z, plus the after the sale service is great. You can call Dave up and he'll take the time out of his day to explain why you need to do this and how to do that ect.. There's a reason he moderates the suspension section on hardcore 5.0, he knows how to build a suspension, period.

You can just do the coilovers and leave the k member and control arms alone and worry about beefing up the rear suspension which if it's oem needs some serious attention.

I would do the strange coilover kit with there adjustable 10 way struts and then attack the rear lower and upper control arms etc.
