I should have mine in another week or so.

How much did it narrow the rear track by? Are you using 24.5's in the rear?

I'm gonna try to come up with a lightweight brake setup for the back, but for now I'll use OEM.

If your going to try and do all that wouldnt it be more cost effective to buy the setup Tom sells? The meyers is 1500+ the shocks and springs. Not sure the price of Toms but prob not that much of a difference.

When more companies start making this the price will get cut in half
No, what will happen is the guys who know what they are doing will stop trying to compete with the low baller hacks and move along. Who takes the loss in the end? It's only suspension, what's the worst that can happen with poorly designed ****?

Case in point, Jimenez wrecking his hotrod hatch due to the Omni coilover literally falling apart...

Tom wanted $4000+ when I asked him almost 2 years ago. His communication sucked then. I like his work, but I'll pass on that. The money I saved went to a new turbo.

Myers stuff is very reasonably priced and from the few sets I have seen in person is nice stuff. To be able to have a complete rear suspension kit for roughly $2000 is a good fukin deal.
