1. I have never dealt with Jag. components before. Does the IRS subframe come with the standard kit? There are some xj6 cars in the local wrecking yard here. It is my understanding if the standard kit comes with the subframe, the jag unit is a bolt-on? I understand the unit may have to be rebuilt.
2. What coilover units can be used besides the ones offered by ERA?
3. Does the "Street Package" cost extra or is that just a customer choice?
4. Does the Street package include the grill or is that an option?
5. Is the "body bonding" part of the package for the standard assembly and included in the standard assembly price?
I am buying a kit in the next couple of months. I am sure I will have more questions soon.
Thanks

Yes, the subframe comes with the kit. Edit- I just checked ERA's website, it looks like the rear subframe costs $300 which includes labor to shorten your control arms and half-shafts, w/handbrake adapter
2. What coilover units can be used besides the ones offered by ERA?
Not sure, probably a number of different ones would work. Bob Putnam could tell you, but why would you want to use something different-ERA has their product down to a science, they know what works and what works well.
3. Does the "Street Package" cost extra or is that just a customer choice?
Customer choice. There might be a slight difference in pricing for undercar exhaust v. sidepipes, but Peter (or maybe Bob) would be the best person to ask.
4. Does the Street package include the grill or is that an option?
Not sure, check with Peter.
5. Is the "body bonding" part of the package for the standard assembly and included in the standard assembly price?
No, bonding the body is extra, but money well spent- let them do it. Edit- Per ERA's website cost is $700.
