Default New Front Suspension Pics>

Here are a few pics of our bolt-in strut kit using a Strange GT Strut. This strut is easily adjusted at the top through a hole in the shock tower. The kit includes our custom mounting plates, lower a-arms, bump steer kit, struts, and choice of brake kits. This brake kit is the lightweight single piston setup that uses a spindle mount wheel. The optional 4 piston kit is recommended for most applications. This is a drag-only setup as it is far too lightweight for street use. All together, this system will eliminate about 100lb from a stock car. Email for more info and pricing.

Thanks

Jay, as always your car and work looks great. By too light for a street car do you mean street car like I have or street car like sane people? or is it just overall too fragile for street use?

Floyd.

Looks good. I was gonna go that route when I did my custom setup but I wanted to stay stock suspension in the front cause of 10.5 races require that. Getting rid of the upper A-Arm like the AJE kit would have banned me along with the LS1tech series.
