I think much of the cost of the Kirkham "original" style suspension is getting the girling brakes and other traditional parts that are made out of "unobtainium". The Shelby CSX?000 cars use modern brakes with their tube control arms, so the CSX cars are not as "original" as the Kirkham version of "original" suspension.

If you wanted a more traditional (but not quite original) suspension on a Kirkham, perhaps you could try sourcing the Shelby style suspension from Vegas. But who knows how much Shelby would charge you for their parts.
