Right, watsons is the best ATM from the majorities opinion, but we await the AMT frame. The downside to all is the extension of the front wings etc :( the watsons gear runs off metro hubs brakes etc, so you need metro wheels(Yuck :x ) Coilovers are a bitch to setup, and are generally more harsh ( some even say they are too ugly :lol: )

Yep, speak to geoff :D and as many other people whom have used the different setups, i decided to go for the watsons with dampers, just need some more cash, B20 has eaten up a big whack of the budget :roll:

I went to P&L - dont do the same unless you want to have to fabricate some of the subframe to body mounts yourself, and cut off the engine mounts he makes that are no good and make your own. Starting to think I should've built my own frame !!!

If you want a kit that is ready available then Watsons is best without a doubt, if you are prepared to wait then AMT will fit under the standard round nose.
Cheers people, i think i will wait for the AMT kit !
Any idea when it will be ready ?
Quote from duck - "if you are prepared to wait then AMT will fit under the standard round nose."
duck - does this mean the front end doesnt have to be lengthened ?
Cheers again :)

Have a search.
Yes it is suppose to fit without extending the front, last time I contacted AMT they said I should be able to get one April/May time.
You may not know that this frame has been in development for years so don't hold your breath about getting one soon.
