Hmmmm. Thought it was just me.... I wanted some lighter coil over springs for the front of a Nova with a Heidt's kit, went through 3 guys and still couldn't get what I wanted, even after explaining the extra engine set back and all the lightweight parts on the car. Even gave them the weights off the scales...... So I called my pal at Weimer's and got what I wanted in 3 days......

I thought I would give another option. Before all these company's had this stuff figured out we had to make our own, it's not that difficult. I don't know what you have available for equipment but it is very rewarding to do this. Making some simple fixtures for the A arms and using OEM bushings and after market spindles (if you want it low). Copying factory geometry for the length and travel for your A arms, it's really not that hard. BUT, you have to be confident in your fabrication skills.
I use Kugel's stuff now.
