Hugh et al,
I am one of the 30 that have bought John's kit. I can't comment on ride
quality as my car is still a year away from being finished but the kit looks
great. Pretty good quality welding, heavy steel for the brackets. KYB gas
shocks. Great price. It's a direct copy of the one I think VB and BPNW
sells but for a whole lot less.

done)
