As long as the racing you want to do will allow it... do the santhuff strut. I don't have a picture but of the available strut setups that is the best one.

look for some pics of chuck ulsch or steve kirks car. im pretty sure they both run them. i know for sure at one point i have seen pics of them on steve kirks red camaro.

*edit* nevermind, after thinking about it more i think he had their lightweight spindle set-up with a separate coilover.

i had the aje struts on my camaro. i was not really impressed with them. they used a stock shock cartridge from a lumina. if you wanted to upgrade them it was another $750 for the double adjustable koni cartridges. the one thing i really didnt like was that you had to have the shock cartridge out to put the nut on the lower ball joint. it sits way down in there and you have to use a long extension to get it on there and there is no way to put a cotter pin in it.
it actually ended up coming apart on the guy i sold the car too a while later. fortunately no damage was done as it happened at low speed and it was an easy fix.

Yeah, I was looking at the spindle. They also have the DA coil over pictured but no strut. Put some pics up if you find any, I'd kinda like to see them now.

I'm bumping this back up...



Surely someone has this setup on thier ride...

I like the look of SLowETz setup and I've been tossin the idea around.
I know it aint cheap but tax time will be here before you know it and I was wondering what all is needed for this to work...

...what lower a-arms are used for these and who makes the hubs for this setup?

Here's a pic of the setup I'm talking about...

Here is a picture of our front end kit with Strange D/A.


Here is a picture of one of the Ohio Boys with our front end kit and Afco D/A.


Another car with our complete front end and Strange D/A. One of the lightest front end kits on the market to date.

Hell if you're going to that extreme with fabrication I can get you into a set of the Strange GT struts for quite a bit less than the Santhuff setup.

I would include the whole package... Struts, brakes, control arms, upper and lower mounting brackets and hardware. If need be I could do a kit that even has the chassis tubes as well.

We have the kit. Just getting together pics and pricing under our Christmas sale.

What style brakes are you looking at, spindle mount or 5 lug?
