Wow. I guess if you have to ask the price you probably don't even need to think about it.
Is it a direct fit for the S197? It says it uses SN95 or Fox steering rack?

 

IIRC, Griggs and Agent 47 also have "K-member/SLA" available for these cars too. Might cost less too.

 

Agent47s is around $3500...not sure on Griggs

 

I'm gonna roll the dice and say 5K on this unit? I think I'm gonna call Monday to find out just for gits and shiggles.

 

wow, looks like the torso in Terminator.

Find out if there are any weight savings as well. Im just curious.

 

That is just... insane.

 

There are a lot of advantages to an SLA front suspension design over a MacPhereson, but there also has to be some seriously heavy-duty engineering behind it for the package to work properly... Camber gain, bump steer, caster gain, torsional rigidity and durability are all factors. Griggs and Agent47 both have very solid track records in grassroots-level racing, and both specialize in production-car based race car builds. I know nothing about JME, but on their "about" tab, they praise their dedication to delivering gauge clusters for the vintage mustangs, nothing on there about racing at all, and it takes more than side-skirts and a big wing....

 

I'd say at least. Billet aluminum is not exactly cost-friendly. Have to wonder about parts fatigue too...

 

I would rather invest in a IRS setup to help put the power down coming out of corners...the live axle just likes to step out a bit over the bumps.

 

That is the prettiest thing I have seen lately. I am a toolmaker of 32 years and I understand how much work,cost and engineering went into this setup. But for us daily driver guys the cost for this kind of work is over the top. But it sure was done right. Just not within my budget. However what is the chance of getting a set of prints?
