I've been waiting for somebody to make those lowers for a very, very long time. Thanks for the link.

I'd like to see some better pics from them of the gusseting on the lowers for the coil-over mount, but they look like nice pieces. Too bad these aren't TSM-legal.

John,

How much does Chris's Strange brake setup weigh vs. the stock GM pieces? What's involved in the changeover?

From the top of my head 65lbs of savings sounds like the number Chris and I were talking about. This is for the brakes and control arms. Just the brakes and hub were about 14lbs a side lighter.

The change over was was pretty painless.
You can get the ball joints with stock gm style or mopar.
If you get mopar there is a little extra work.
