Hmm, well now i am back to my original dilemma. Ladder/coil setup or leaf spring setup. I had looked at this in other places and many said the ladder setup is no cheaper than the upgraded stock setup and ladders are not very friendly on the street.

Well, when I was adding the costs to do my rear suspension the "stock" setup I wanted was going to be roughly $1000 while the ladder bars was $400, I already had the shocks. The stock pieces I was looking at was, calvert split monos, smith race craft max tracs, afco sliders, strange spring pads, a.r.t. anti roll bar, and needed hardware.

Ladder bars vary in price from sportsman $300 kits to skinny kid $2k pieces.

This seems to be a decent looking kit for the price.

The ladder bars seems to be a smoother, softer ride versus the leafs to me. The only draw back would be the yearly inspection and replacement of the front heims when needed.

You can't go wrong with either set up, there isn't any real performance advantage with either in a car that is over 3000lbs IMO.
