The base Kirkham has billet aluminum suspension pieces (not to be confused with their one off billet aluminum frame car). It is a rather expensive option to get the original style suspension on the Kirkham.

The CSX4000 suspension is probably more like the original cobras, but is certainly not indentical to the original.

Both CSX4000 and Kirkham have modern brakes, but I believe they are from different manufacturers.

When you say body and chassis, does this include all front and rear control arms, etc?
Because I struggle to believe it would be feasable for Shelby to buy a Kirkham Chassis then go and make there own control arms, uprights, hubs, diff assys etc when it is all available from Kirkham.
I had thought that Shelby bought what would basically be a rolling body/chassis combo from Kirkham, can anyone confirm that?
