Yes indeed, we hope to start design work in the next couple of weeks.  We are working now to complete the front suspension.  Planning to offer the rear suspension set up sometime this summer.  Will keep you posted via our website.  Thanks for the interest.

My whole front end is a shell right now and I'm ready to buy.
How much is it? Can I reuse my existing tubular control arms and shocks or is it one whole package?
Give me a thorough explanation as to why I should go with yours instead of the Alter-K-tion setup?

So Redtop, What benefits does your K-frame have over tha Alterkation frame? Is it cheaper? Is it stronger? Will it have a rack. How about a peek of the new type subframe connectors?

That's geat, but you still didn't answer my question on why we should go with your product vs. Alter-k-tion or xv motorsports

[redtopspeedshop]

To 73cuda426        First of all, sorry for the delayed response.  Second, thanks for the interest.  Our kit will consist of: K-frame, upper & lower control arms, shock tower support bracing (for coil over shocks), all steering components(including steering box, sway bar & arms, and coil overs.  You will use your spindles and brakes.  You could use your upper control arms if they will clear the spring on the coil over.  Pricing is being held up right now until we figure out our fabrication time, but our goal is to be competitive with the market.  As far as the AlterK-tion I do not know much about it.  I've seen on cars.  It seemed to be a well made unit but I do know how much they put into the geometry & performance aspect.  Our staff is more along the lines of race car technology.  What that means for you is a system that is drastically better than stock not only for geometry but in overall performance.  Thanks again for the inquiry and I hope I answered your question.  If not, email me at info@redtopspeedshop.com.[/quote]

Lets see if I can answer some questions.  1) I have not done a comparison of our stuff vs. the alerKtion so I can't say if ours is stronger or not.  I know that ours will be very stout. 2) Our kit is a steering box style kit.  It uses very tried & true parts and technology from the stock cars-ie. billet drag link w/ bump steer adjustment, 11/16" tie rod ends w/ extremely strong tie rod sleeves, the 600 series Saginaw steering box which has a multitude of available ratios and valving so you can fine tune the steering wheel feel & steering quickness.  Also, by using this type of steering we can keep all the components higher off the ground than w/ the rack & pinion systems that I have seen.  Which means less chance of hitting the steering components on the ground if you choose to have a really low ride height.  Thanks for the interest & I hope I answered your questions.
