So the buyer cannot use the doner parts from a serpent car, except the frontend, because thay will not fit. Had Chicky been up front with this info and listed the needed parts I would not have bought the kit. O and also not included in the kit you have to buy the on-point standoffs seperate thay are not included in the kit but you cannot complete the conversion without them. No the on-point conversions are not a less expensive option and border on fradulent addvertising, imo if you addvertise something as a kit the buyer should be made aware of the fact that he will need parts from a different car. Because on-point does not do that I'm letting this possible buyer know of the pitfalls of an on-point serpent conversion kit.
not accurate, the serpent conversion only requires an AE center pivot. ($3?).
i consider this an improvement, not a negative. (the serpent pivot costs $12 and doesn't work as well as the AE part)

other than that, you need 2 standoffs and damper tubes if starting from a s120L.
