I did, it is a Mach 2. I might have to send it back in.

Funny thing in the kit, I received 2 main bags that have the turnbuckle tool, shock pistons and spring cups.

Here she is all done though.

Bottom to top: T4.2, B4.2, B5

I have black DE wheels for all, just waiting on Dirt Webs for the buggys, and Typos for the truck.

Have to delete my rant due to too many cocktails. Only adding I wish I had made more calls locally before ordering mine, shame on me.

Eddie, saddles are a pain simply because you really should have a saddle balancer. I don't see that there's much room to separate the saddles. I went with squares no question. For jcp, the heavy just works better. However, with this car being a little heavier and a lot beefier, shorty might be an option as well. With the square pack ill most likely motor up to an 8.0 or 7.5. We shall see
