Is Castlemaine Rod shop the only supplier of these kits?

Are there any other out there?

Before I go and purchase the kit, I want to make sure it's top quality and I want to hear reviews on them.

I have one in my LC the only negative I can say is that the Left hand side was a bit of a battle to fit, only out by about 2-3 mm. Could have simply been a mass produced LC Torana made in 1970. When I jack up one corner of the car there is not as much body flex when you open and try to shut the doors. Not bad. Handeling wise I can notice the stiffer body, car body that is. You have to cover yourself when using the word stiff.

I am finnally about to install mine which has been sitting for years in my my shed. Will keep you posted how I go.

When I was looking into them, it was pretty much the only option. I have noticed a guy selling what looks to be a much weaker version that he has just template the side of the rail and cut some 10mm plate that you weld to the side of the rail. As much has I have had issues with CRS, I think they are the best kit. Lets see if I say the same once I have it installed.
