Anyone know who makes this? Or is it homemade?

Defiantly looks homemade to me. Also doesn't look very trustworthy! The mounting tabs and bars just look way to thin.

Re: can someone ID this suspension?
Yea, I agree. Maybe good enough for a Toyota 4 cyl. That's why I'm wondering what's missing if it's a manufactured kit.

Re: can someone ID this suspension?

no leaf springs, normally used in conjunction with coil overs

Re: can someone ID this suspension?
That set up is an older version of a Chassis Engineering Ladder Bar kit with coil overs. Similar to this current one:
http://chassisengineering.com/shopDe...ProductId=1393 I buddy of mine used that older set up back in the early 90's to pro street a camaro. The "coil overs" were just regular shocks with brackets top and bottom to hold the spring around the shock. Not a true treaded body coil over. It hooked up well for him.

Re: can someone ID this suspension?
You should be able to find a ladder bar set up for less the $350 with the coilovers. I installed that setup in a freinds prostreet 1990 chevy
