instead of bastardising for want of a better word other items not actually designed for the Sporty...

Could you please provide a cost and what is included with the kit. Had a look on Everret's site and couldn't see any advertising as yet.

Are the AARms and Modified CV's part of the kit or is this still in development?

I Know I am and I am sure everyone else Is looking forward to seeing all the info and pictures soon.

Great work by the way <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />

the stock travel kit is the only one in production at this time it includes two bilstein coil overs with two eibach springs two bilstein jounce bump stops upper shock mounts and lower shock mounts with all mounting hardware it sells for 800.00+ shipping. the next kit i am working on has a new upper arm and cv axle and it runs a longer shock and will produce more wheel travel and more lift, but i need to finish the prototype kit and put some miles on it before its ready. check the facebook page for updates.

I'm sure this is premature... Any idea how much the next kit will cost, including the A-arms and the CV axles? And will the new CVs work with the stock suspension? The CVs alone would be awesome... <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/evil.gif" alt="" />

Another question <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/ignore.gif" alt="" />

with the coilovers fitted does this allow for caster, camber adjustment and toe in ?

Just wanted to know because since I have fitted my lift the Sporty tram tracks at the slightest deviation in the road making it a bit nervous to drive. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/scared.gif" alt="" />

I have purchased some universal flange strut adjusters from KMAC Suspension components for camber which I hope will fix the tracking issue <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/scared.gif" alt="" />.

Any time frame on when the new long travel kit could be ready?

Keep up the good work <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/patriot.gif" alt="" />

Cheers, Chris cheers:
