The Stage I is simply the suspension kit. T bars, springs, the best shocks money can buy, sway bars, billet mounts,  urethane control arm (upp/low) leaf spring strut rod bushings, adj shackles, adj strut rods.

The stiffening kit has weld in frame connectors, inner braces, lower rad support and a bolt in underhood brace.

Couple of questions about the stage one kit.  First, would there be any difference if an adjustable tubular type upper control arm was used?  How about the lower control arm brace?  Any trouble with the lower control arm poly bushing slipping (I know this an issue when poly first got popular)?  Different question now.  Your stage one brake kit, does it bolt up to the stock spindles and such?  If not, what is required.  Finally, is it just my computer, or does it take forever for info to load from the XV site for anyone else?  It takes, like, minutes to get from one part of the site to another.  And yes I do have high speed and no I don't have that problem any where else.  Thanks for the great info!

Their site has always been pretty fast for me. I'm in NC.

I'm on their site now and clicked on the level one suspension link.  It took about 2 minutes to come up.  XV is the only site I seem to have this problem at.  Maybe it's the settings on my ccomplicator....opps, I mean computer!

Nice...I like those and have been mulling over buying a pair of Vistas for my Challenger.

There is no harm in using a tubular upper arm. I am not sure what you mean by the lower control arm "braces". Our inner fender braces get tucked up in the fenderwell, right next to the originals. As far as our level one brake kit, we will be using a Baer kit, and it bolts to stock disc brake spindles. You will have to machine the rear axle centers a couple of thousands to allow the rotor to slip on porperly.

I meant the weld on plates that go on the bottom of the lower control arm.  I would not see how they could harm anything, but it's nice to know from the expert.

We do not offer them. In our tests, we did not find them necessary. I'm sure they couldn't hurt though.
