No direct bolt in, cause the rear needs a whole new suspesnion setup to run TRUE coilovers

Bump on this. Any bolt on or something that can work with light fabrication? Looking for help getting that heavy nose up for weight transfer at track.

I've looked and can't find any. I don't think it would be that hard to make a universal one work though

yeah, I've been wishing for awhile now.... Nothing out there without going custom.

...quite a few threads out there that I've seen/posted in over the years on various sites, but none that I can remember with a 100% completion and how-to process...

I was looking into some VariShocks for a bit there... I know they do a lot of C/O conversions on musclecars and successfully SOLO/Auto-x them.

Will need to reinforce upper shock pocket on your frame, and ideally, I was going to even try to tie in a small basic removeable engine hoop to connect points. LCA mount may even give you issues...
