Didn't find what I'm after with the usual search functions. It's rare, but it happens.
Here's the latest:
-Front sway bar going in.
-TyrolSport is still backordered HARD on some missing pieces to make and sell a complete DeadSet kit.
-Their kit uses stronger, reusable ARP bolts and includes (beefier rear brackets?). I really like the ARP bolt idea.
-$300 is (for me) a lot for a companion upgrade
-Alternatively, for half the cost, a simpler but functional looking kit from 034:

034 kit includes a new set of the 1-time use bolts, but just the 4 main ones.
Simple questionnaire:
1) Who here has run the 034 kit, and with what level of satisfaction?
2) With either kit, how difficult did you find it to get the subframe properly aligned/centered during install, relative to the new bolts and collars?
3) What honest improvements did you notice, if any, post-install and post-alignment?
4) If building your car over again, how significantly would you rank this upgrade?
That is all. Keep the good info flowing!
