Front suspension id

I recently picked up a sports racer with 10 inch front wheels. Has 13's in the rear.
I'm thinking a f500 was used in the chassis build.
Does anyone recognize this front suspension?
Thanks

It looks to me like an INVADER or KBS front suspension. Upright uses a FIAT bearing. Replacement parts are available from Mike Quadrini if needed.

That's an orginal KBS front suspension. Those are the orginal KBS front uprights. The Invader front uprights are different. If you talk to Mike Quadrini tell him you have and orginal KBS front suspension. The A-arms off an Invader are probably not going to fit your car.

In the mid-90's KBS manufactured several DSR cars.

Actually KBS built two dsr cars. and I had one, sold it to someone in the mid west . It had 10" wheels all around, but someone may have changed that. The other car was owned here on the west coast and I am not sure what happened to It. If you post a pic of the whole car, might shed some light.
The car was a lot of fun to drive, with the cvt and all.

I have 10" 5 lug Douglas Wheels that came off my KBS Mk 5 that I want to sell.
I have 3 Fronts and 2 Rears (see photo) if you need extra wheels and they fit your car. I also
had one 5 lug KBS front hub if I can find it or I may have gotten rid of it. I'm in Lagrange Ohio
only about 45 minutes away from you. Let me know if you’re interested.
