based on the info in this link
http://www.maximummotorsports.com/content/articles/pdf/Slalom.pdf

have any of you guys installed this kit or have any experiance with it ?
i was wondering about the bilsteins .. ive heard alot of good things about strange 10 ways ..anyone have a preferance and do you think the stranges will work well with this kit ..

i been reading up on sites about shock /spring control arm installations .. is it as easy as it looks just basically nuts and bolts ??

any other info or tech links would be greatly appreciated thanks ...

what is your goal with the vehicle?

Yes it is just basically nuts and bolts the only thing special you really need is a spring compressor and impact sockets.

But keep this in mind, those are gonna be pretty rusty old nuts and bolts. If you don't have access to shop air and are not incredibly strong, doing the suspension is going to kick your ass...

did we miss this thread? ive got experience with strange 10 ways and i love them. you can really feel the difference in settings. im not sure what kit your talking about cuz the link goes right to the homepage. and for the most part the installation of springs and struts are easy. ive never used a spring compressor ever..i find it easier to jack up the control arm and bolt it into place. i also dont use air tools. but like blac dragon said if there rusted its going to be a POS. id bring some PD blaster and a torch. ive done all the springs and struts and control arms by myself with out any special tools so its not a hard job.

I had a spring fly out on me before and it hurt like hell. I put the spring compressor just to keep it there with no danger to my legs...
