Peter,
I don't think that kit is being imported.
Winner's Circle sells a similar kit using Carrera shocks. The shock
mounts to the axle strap top mount and to a bracket under the axle.
I am planning to do a similar thing on my car and have taken some
measurement. The problem is you need some shocks that are very short but
have fairly long travel. I am not sure yet that I can find such a shock.
The WC is between $200 and $300 with the adjustable shocks.
