I think that the owner is on this site, but I don't remember his screen name. Look for posts regarding the XV 1 Challenger that they covered on Dream Car Garage and you will find him.

I'm thinking of picking up the same parts as you are. Yeah, the stage two suspension upgrades are a bit out of my price range too......

I've been drooling over that stuff too.  It looks like some really nice stuff!  I talked with the owner (e-mail) once about the high end stuff, and he was really helpful and knowledgable.  Nice guy.

Buy the dream car season featuring their stuff on DVD off their site. It's cheap. Really wants to make me go Stage 2 with their stuff, but the money is killer.

I have also been interested in XV. They seem to have some good ideas.I could only ever dream of Stage1      Could'nt we wait to see more of their stuff and copy it for alot less?

I have... I pre-ordered the chassis stiffening kit back in August when the website listed it as shipping Sept. 15.  Around mid-October I got the lower radiator brace.  Then around the 2nd week in November, I got the subframe connectors and the fender braces.  I still have not received the engine compartment brace.  Maybe mid-December at this rate???  I think it's the usual thing that seems to happen to every vendor... they develop parts and advertise them, then have a hard time meeting the demand???

Oh well.... at least the engine compartment brace is not holding me up.  On the plus side everything fit great.  I didn't make any mods to the radiator brace.  On the fender braces it comes with 4 little plates to box in the stock brace that goes to the inner fenderwells, and I took a little notch out of two of them to give a little more welding surface.  It wasn't really necessary but it was easy to do.  On my Cuda the drivers side rear floorpan is pretty beat up, so I knew the subframe connectors wouldn't fit well.... in fact I'm not sure I'll use them and I'll probably do 2x4 tubing through the floorboards.  It was basically cheaper to buy the complete chassis stiffening kit than if I had just bought the pieces I wanted.  I posted two pictures here:

If you would like anymore pictures just let me know since I have tons of them including ones from before I primered the engine bay.

I talked to the guys from XV while at the SEMA show and saw the stage II. These guys have their $&*T together. They make an awesome product and it is worth the money.

[cudahob]

I'm going to get some stuff there too. I'll have to order soon it looks like.

Shhhhhhh

What is that...part of the stage 1 kit? 

[willhaven]

I believe the chassis kit and engine compartment brace are only really necessary for the Level II setup if I'm not mistaken.
