      It's a commonly installed kit. The shocks should be good with those springs. It's usually recommended to go with the Hotchkis tuned Bilsteins, but the Edelbrock's are a good choice as well. There's quite a few guys running that setup.

      So - It's a good start up kit for the money...

      Is anybody on this forum using this kit?

      I know it's on a lot of cars. I'm using the springs on my car, but with factory sway bars. I know Mary Pozzi started out with it, but went to Global West rear leafs and modified the rear sway bar. She tracks her car heavily though. There's also quite a few guys over at www.nastyz28.com running it on their Camaros as well.

      Im using the 69' TVS kit (minus rear sway bar) from them, with Koni shocks, and for the price and simplicity of the kit, its perfect for the average road racer. I cut some coils out the front and blocked the rear to lower the car more to my likeing.

      Another vote for TVS kits, although we like to use the Hotchkis shocks and combine all this with the frame connectors. We sell and install a lot of these kits and they are the best bang for the buck in the suspension market. The TVS kit makes for a killer ride.
