    It does look like Cal-Mini.

    It's missing the replacement crossmember but that's really not needed anyway.

    The bracket next to the springs looks like the panhard rod drop they included with their kit.

    Not sure what that thing is next to the shock boots or the small piece between the shocks. It may be part of the panhard rod drop bracket.

    Yup ..Calmini.



    Nothing missing that you need....
    ...and some stuff you dont!

    I inherited a Calmini kit when I first got my VX...
    ...and they are WAY expensive for what they are..RETAIL.

    However...For $100..THATS A STEAL.....

    ....and the shocks are GREAT IMO.

    Just check the springs are equal...
    ..... they have been known to settle at different rates.

    And of course check the shocks are good.

    If ya get it, and want a hand fitting...
    ...take a cruise to San Diego...I'll help you.

    If..on the other hands you decide not to purchase..
    ...I would happily do so..so please let me know!

    The crossmember is the Drilled square section...
    ... between the boots and shocks in the pic.

    Its just upside down.. ...and youre right...its really not needed.

    The blue bar next to the boots is a painted piece of Uni-strut.
    Very common in Electrical and plumbing installations, used with clamps to support pipes and conduit. I have NEVER seen a need to use it in an auto, EVER!
    Makes me wonder?

    ...yer wrong.

    That is the calmini replacement cross member.
    When flipped over, the bolt flanges are obvious...
    ...and the construction/fabrication more clear.

    Trust me...I have one..its done many trails.....it aint Uni-Strut!

    Its not required..but it is a solid/strong part of the kit.
