  1. If it were me I would get a set of strutbags from AIM Industries, a small compressor like a Viair 380, a 2-3 gal flat round tank that can mount in the spare tire well, and 4 valves. You'll only need 1/4" or 3/8" line and 1 switch to control the whole rear as one. The reason I would go with this over a set of custom made springs is that once those springs are made that's what you've got. If you ever make any changes that adds more weight or takes some away how will those springs ride? Not only that, you're going to have to go with such a high spring rate to compensate for the weight that it's probably going to ride really stiff and is going to put more stress on the strut towers and unibody.

  2. AIM has actually changed quite a bit over the last few years. I quit doing business with them until a couple years ago after having a personal meeting with the owner, Joe Morrow. We talked about their business practices and how they treated their customers because I was one of the customers that was screwed over by them. He made things right with me and Mr. Morrow has personally become active in the mini truck community over on streetsource.com which has had a great influence on them turning things around and taking care of those that keep them in business. I wouldn't hesitate to do business with them now. Sure there are other products out there that may be better than some of theirs but you're going to pay a lot more for them and the difference isn't always worth the difference in price. They do however have many hard to find parts and stuff for rides that other companies don't produce (your Malibu is a good example of this). One last suggestion, your Malibu has McPherson suspension so you might want to look into hydraulics instead. They can be completely bolt in, with accumulators ride much better, and if you get a quality setup you'll have no more than and likely less issues than you will with air. Check out Hydroholics.net

  3. I've got the Glockmeister Essentials Kits (now I think they're the tactical kits since under new ownership) which comes with:

    TruGlo TFO Night Sights

    Drop in 3.5 lb Trigger Job

    Tungsten Recoil Spring Assembly

    Extended slide lock lever

    Extended Slide Stop Lever

    Extended Magazine Catch

    Backstrap Channel Insert

    I have this in all 4 of my Glocks and will put it in any I get in the future. It makes a night and day difference and I personally won't own a Glock without it.

  4. The Springfield USGI is a nice platform to work with and can be found fairly cheap. I picked mine up new for $399. The reason I went with this, other than the price, is that it's very basic and leaves lots of room to customize it and still be cheaper than an off the shelf model. So far I've done a Wilson combat trigger, beaver tail, and hammer and I'm still under $500 on it.
