The kit fits and works as advertised, BUT...some of the hardware that they don't manufacture themselves will drive you crazy, namely, the air fittings. They look great, and are swivel fittings that seem to be what's needed, but I wound up having to replace every one due to leaks! For the price, you can't beat this kit. I'd love to upgrade it to electronic controls, maybe next year. Until then, I can set every corner exactly where I need it. Ride & handling greatly improved over my old worn out coils. Here's a link to my install.

This is the system I was shooting for for my '58. Thanks for posting the install! I talked to Steve, there, great guy. Also, thanks for the heads up on the fittings. May I ask where you got the replacement fittings? Looks great!

Got the fittings at our local Ace Hardware! Compression type rather than "push on". Also, teflon tape worked better than the liquid sealant. Note that you HAVE to relocate your front shocks. I drove mine for a day or so w/o the shocks just to see if they were needed. You positively gotta have them on the highway, or you'll look like a big bouncy toy..
