I have the earlier CAT 5 with the mid-eye front, non-reverse leaf. It's what I have at the moment and will just live with it for the sake of getting the project on the road.

But will in future go back thru the suspension, get the F body AXF spindles, and the reverse leafs.

Dropped coin on the Baer setup in the front that had the modded OE spindles and split hub, not too thrilled about that now.

Used to be where SpeedTech wouldn't sell the spindles for the F bodies unless you bought the whole front suspension, which was plain wrong, but now you can buy just the spindles.

Really, it was just the steering arm they coveted, again, just wrong. ATS used to offer them, but SpeedTech 'updated' it, and then charged more. Maybe with the buy-out that will change, and hopefully, more R&D will go into it all.

Like really, the 2nd gen F-body has a MASSIVE market, technically 12 years, highest prod numbers, stupid/greedy why the muck with it.

DSE is just as bad, if not worse...

Sorry, venting....
