They make high-end, track oriented suspension for a variety of cars. A kit for your’s is around $4.5k. ---

I was going to say I could have made you one for that price. $170 is redic. $20 in aluminum sheet, 10 mins to cut and bend on brake, $19 for aluminum cap and weld on bung, $5 for hose nipple. 45 mins to weld if that, I would have charged $40 and a beer to weld it all up. $170 is tig welding robbery! ---
