If you have a L3 get the rug rat conversion...it really is excellent.

I got a Reflex 12 because I wanted to try the Trinity front end. Its a cool car but it does need some mods to make it right. Like 1.5mm (.060) spacers between the lower pod plate and the left and right pod plates (spacing them up). Forget running a round can mod motor unless you do this!

Also, lots of guys are mounting the damper tubes up top above the top pod plate. This makes them move more and makes the damping side to side more consistant.

If I didnt care about the Trinity front end I would have gotten a Rug Rat and the new IRS front end.
CRC makes a Carpet Knife conversion for the 12L3 also. i have not seen a rug rat but with the carpet knife you will never need battery tape or t-bars again. the rug rat may offer these features as well, i dont know.
