I ordered just the minimal parts I needed to order from them. I bought the coil over crossmember, coil overs, repair panels and upper and lower A arms. I have got to say that the build quality of these parts are second to none. It just doesn't get any better. I've been buying and building suspensions for years and in that time I have never seen this high of quality in any part suspension or otherwise! The TIG welds border on artistic beauty! If you know me you know how much of a perfectionist I am. I just can't express how high of quality we are talking here! I just can't wait to take the saw to my car!

Don, I take your meaning two ways so I will answer it both ways as I understand it.The geometry of the A-arm are that of the MustangII suspension. Other then the geometry the simularity ends. There is no strut rod to deal with. Just a short and long A-arm setup. The geometry looks correct and there should be no problem with bumpsteer. They did their homework. The parts from the catalog originaly looked as if they bought from various vendors to make a kit. Once I recived the kit I found this to be false. From the looks they actualy make each and every piece by hand. I say this because the TIG welds on the A-arms match the welds on the crossmember. Whoever did the welds is damn good is all I can say. Think high-end bicycle frame welds and you will have a good idea of the quality. The coilovers are made by Aldan and you can have your choice of spring rates. They recomend 400 lb. springs for smallblock cars. I went with 450 lb. because I like stiffer suspensions and I plan to roadrace. If I were to do it again I would probably go to the extra time and expence to buy proper Koni 2 way adj. shocks and Hyperco springs. But the cost would triple going that route. For the money the Aldan's look top notch. hope I answered your question?
