I am not sure if our other vendors have something similar.

Do you know of any cars with this set up installed?
I have installed this lift system on numerous Panteras will excellent results! The design takes most of not all of the stress off of the hinge area and requires less powerfull shocks to lift the deck. I have repaired plenty of decks that were cracked next to the hinges. I even installed it on one car which had a wing and someone had added so much bondo to the decklid ( and the rest of the car) that the decklid felt twice as heavy to open as stock. The IPSCO system worked amazingly well. The car had so much Bondo that I had to source longer bolts for the mount that attaches the strut to the car!

Does the re-location of the struts provide enough room for the rear roll bar braces to be installed?
With the stock struts, there isn't enough room for them.
Yes
