While the purchase price is very reasonable, you have to factor in other costs. Since it sounds like you might not have the ability to do the fabrication work it would require for the install, that will add considerable cost.
It will also require some R&D which translates to trial & error unless you are lucky enough to get it set up correctly the first try. I'm guessing from my experience on such ventures that it's not going to happen.
If you just won't a mild drop with a suspension that handles better that what you have, I think there might be better ways to accomplish that goal.

I definitely get what you are saying. Not being a fabricator myself, trial and error install would not be in my cards. I would want someone like Nate or Scotts that are experts in suspension to do the install so that the geometry would be correct but you pose a good question, how much trial and error would someone like that be subject to? I also do like the “something different/new” concept so that’s the reason I started looking at it in the first place. Given that converting to disk, track lock, reinforcing arms or 4-bar, shocks and springs would cost $x would the GTO concept be better, and if so, how much more would it end up costing is the key question.
When I first thought about this I was thinking it would be great to have a Kit like the Dropmember C4 but given the responses thus far it may be barking up the wrong tree but I figured no harm at least posing the question
