Interesting concept, though. I think with the right hydraulic ram and some custom fabbed spring perches, I could make one of these for about a couple hundred more than I could get the Klann clones!

Doubt I'll buy the clones. Hopefully after I get all the suspension components changed out on my car, that'll be it for a long while. I'll just use the tool rental program here in the forum.
