there is no kit.

Diversified Creations in Michigan is working on a kit (almost complete and ready for production) that will be around the same price as the 6' IFS lifts...but that doesnt include the price of the axles or anything.

3 Leaf Fab is working on a kit for leaf spring front suspensions (but they are only currently testing on 1st gens). No price projected yet I dont think.

So...its pretty much all custom. Theres alot of info to be found about it on ZR2usa.com (they have a whole sub forum devoted to SFA swaps). You can go with coils or leaf springs, but you really need to know what your doing if you want to go coils. Theres alot of suspension geometry that has to be just right to do a linked setup.
