The kit I got was $375 but didn't include a pedal assembly, the kit with the pedal is about $650, but that was only because I got the pedal assembly from a guy who decided to go with a firewall mount instead.

Re: pics of your lowered straight axel 3100

man...even a 3" drop axel looks like it will put the scrub line real low if you have 15" wheels!!! Can you post a pic of the clearance?

Re: pics of your lowered straight axel 3100

Sorry for late reply.
Sid asked, and i told him disk brake upgrade was in the future so if i remember its a little different to make up for the disk brakes.
The picture angle just makes it look like a huge difference. I can measure this weekend.
As for the scrub line - with 15" wheels... Its close. Hope i dont have a flat.
