Anyone here run this EXACT kit? Is it possible without switching to alu trailing arms? $1250 seems like a steal for coilovers(even if its just the front conversion kit, but you still get koni shocks).

Yep, in the NEWB thread, there is a link to suspension options and it talks about the change to the shock mounts between aluminum and steel trailing arms.

Seems like an adapter bushing could be made to get around this, but I've not looked to see if this is possible at all.

If anything, I'd expect that you'd end up putting some spacers on the rear shocks (on bottom same as what they already have for the top - maybe could be ordered with extras?).
