Well got almost everything in the garage installed on the car, thought I might toss some pics up of everything installed. I'm not much of a pitchman like NOS LS1 but I would hope my pics will suffice

No need to PM... I'll put it right out there because like always with MWC, it is the best parts, the best quality, and the best prices. The whole front end kit... I'm taliking k-member, rack, ultra-light spindles, ultra-light upper and lower control arms, Strange brakes, Strange double adjustable shocks w/ Hypercoil springs, and all necessary hardware to do the assembly is 3575.00. All the parts are chromemoly manufactured, tig welded, and powdercoated. This whole kit, hardware included(no advertising hype) is a total of about 90 pounds. You won't find a better front end, or for that cost. We also proudly offer the same kit with Afco shocks.

nope... the spindle is threaded for the bolt used. I am gonna have a conversion kit that will allow the use of this spindle with existing ball joint control arms though. You just wont get the weight savings of the control arm/joint setup that I use on this setup.

I noticed in another thread you were making non abs 9 inch compatible with 3 channel abs, i was wondering if you were working on a 8.8 version? Im considering getting an 8.8 as the guy that did make them and I think still is in toronto, where I live so i could avoid border bs and shipping. The only downside i see to the 8.8 is there is no pre made 8.8 abs 3 channel set up.

If anyone has any more questions just let me know and for those still contemplating which route to go keep in mind you get a fabricated housing at the cost of everyone elses stock style steal housing, PLUS ours comes with it's own unique torque arm that cuts the weight down tremendously.

I just fingered up your torque arm tapping the holes and putting the heim joints in. Working on getting yours in a crate still by the end of this week. Doing a little double this past few weeks trying to get everyone out the door asap.
I will say it looks like MWC fabricated housing heaven as we have them stacked to the ceiling right now
