Made a big mistake...

I went overboard and bought the entire (although separately) Hotchkis TVS kit @ http://www.hotchkis.net/tvs_system_1...all_block.html. I then had a change of mind, and decided on more a purist type resto instead. I guess I realized this after inlinetube sent me the wrong colored clips for my fuel/brake lines (apparently same ones from Fusick though), and just how fussy I was about getting the right ones. Never did get the right ones... will have to paint them accordingly. Anyway, it is '72 Cutlass Supreme, not a '70 W30 or something. Plus, I will want to go to shows and stuff and compete. I will still do a few mods like internal engine + higher rear end gears, but that is about it.

So... now I have to try to sell this stuff. I threw out all the boxes though unfortunately. Sway bars and front shocks are very heavy. I also picked up the Bilstein shocks that Hotchkis offered (HPS1000), and not sure if those will go or not.

Sooo are you saying you're selling a complete Hotchkis TVS system for your car?

This ad copy from the Hotchkis website you posted is enough to make me NOT want to use their parts:

Description:

Whether you cruise a slammed SS 396 Chevelle, or a restored GTO anyone who drives a classic Chevy knows that handling isn't one of the car's strong points. Now you can make your classic Chevrolet handle like a late model muscle car.
Apparently Hotchkis can't tell a Pontiac from a Chevy...
