I have been looking at SLA front suspension to finish my MM 3link rear for more then a year. I don't want the MM front because its not an Short Long Arm setup and has limitations and I don't want the Griggs G40 setup because I don't want to spend more money then I paid for my car(over $5,000.00. I have been looking at both and seeing if it looks possible to mix and match both kits to put together a SLA for a 1/4 of the price or maybe just come up with something myself. They both have to have the same mounting points for the K member. So what if it was possible to use a MM k member with the Griggs control arms and shock mounts to achieve my goal. You think its possible?

The Griggs k-member is required to use their SLA set up. Unless you do some serious competitive open road coarse racing, its not worth the price.

Seriously who would spend that much money on a SLA setup on a foxbody? I contacted MM and they say they don't have an ETA on when they will come out with one but, they say they've done it in the past and it doesn't prove to be any better on the track compared to their current suspension.

This man is correct. For anything other than a dedicated race car the SLA is really not worth it.
