It seems IRS has stopped carrying thirdgen stuff completely, but you can get Alston SFC's direct from the manufacturer at http://www.alstonracing.com/ They dont have much of a website, you have to call them. I've got pics of them on my car if anyone needs them. These are the SFC's that work great with dual cat cars, and convertibles.

He's installed several Alston's including mine. Thanks for the link Kevin. I've passed it along. It is a strange coincidence that there are two "Alston's", both selling chassis upgrades for our cars. I wonder if they are related? Lon

They are related, and there is some bad blood between them, apparently. I dont have the full story.

I would be interested if the products are the same , similar or what.

Sharing technology and market share can not coinside.

Chris Alston Chassisworks at http://www.cachassisworks.com/ doesnt sell subframe connectors, so there isnt any product sharing.

Thanks Kevin. I'm still debating whether to go T'bird irs or not. If I stick with solid axle, I'll definately get a set of Alstons.

Kevin,
Will the Alston's work on dual cat set up? I currently have a set of the Hotchkis which appear I may not be able to use. Luckily, I can return them.
Thanks in advance.
Oscar.

Yes, I said in the first post they work with dual cat cars. I have Alstons on my car now and it has dual cats.

Thanks Kevin. Sorry. I see you do have dual cats. I meant to ask if your car is lowered. I have a one inch drop on mine and don't want any problems hitting below.
thanks.
