What do you guys think of the Independent Suspension for Lightnings made by Constant Velocity?

Can you elaborate a little more about this product, how about a URL or something?

Thumbs down

From the picture I saw, it looks like the aluminum 8.8 center section just like the 1999 Cobra setup. This unit has already been known to fail, mostly breaking at the cv joints. Also, I don't know how well the center section would hold up to the amount of torque the Lightning puts out. Side note: I bet you can forget about putting any weight or towing with this setup. I'll stick with my 9.75 leaf springs set up.

Won't buy stock in that set up...bet they don't sell 2 for Lightnings. Nice for a street rod though.

Here's a link to a vendor. Sounds interesting, but for $4600 plus installation, I think I will pass .
