I've finally got my "ducks in a row" and will purchase a new coil-over front suspension next week. I have it narrowed down to two.

1) Martz chassis weld-in coil over unit

2) RC Motorsports coil-over (#3 on their site) kit. www.rcmotorsports.net

I've heard good from both, and each are priced similair. Right now the RC kit seems like the better buy.

ANY input?

TIA!!

In my O, you cant go wrong with either bolth are excellent kits, The Martz set up is a little more involved as far as installation goes because you are replacing the frame rails and front cross member, not just adding the new cross member like in the R&C kit

Didn't griggs come out with a front end kit too? I always thought they were the tops in engineering/design.

I don't think you'll regret either of those you listed.

I will relay what I can. I am not doing the mechanical work and I am going on a vacation to Jamaica next week. I will be back a couple of day before Christmas and will have some photos then. I assume my shop could talk to you on the phone if you have any issues. I will ask them if they come across anything that someone might look out for when doing the install.

Are you going to powdercoat any of the parts before install? We did a bunch of the parts black.

On Friday they were at the point of cutting the (forgive my techincal inabilities right here) shock towers? completely out and the hardware around the frame. I might have some pics by Wed of next week then it is off on vacation time.
