Front end parts?
« on: May 03, 2007, 11:55:24 PM »

I'm getting ready to order a poly front end kit for my 65.  I'll most likely use rubber LCA bushings.  Anyone have a preference between PST and Just Suspensions or any horror stories.  I'll be using the K/H disc parts off a pre 72 Dart with a stock sway bar.

I've never used them - but I was reading about a guy that was rebuilding a cuda and he didn't have a lot of nice things to say about PST. After the 4th mistake he just gave up and ordered the correct parts elsewhere.

I just ordered all my front end parts for my 70 Swinger from Mancini's website. They have pics of everything and the prices are very good. Give them a look.  Grin Eric  4 speed

  JustSuspension does have its issues but they made good with me by sending a whole new swaybar and hardware when originally all I ever recieved was a box of bolts literally. Firm feel is pricey but those guys know there stuff and offer a wide range of help for tuning your cars performance. I would get your swaybar stuff from addco-justsuspension and the rest through firm feel..there sway bars are talored to your car and cost like it too but again its your car.

I ordered from Performance Suspension for our Demon. The parts are great, customer service was good, and I have 0 complaints.

I always buy the stuff locally, we have 3 stores that sell Moog parts, I called PST in the past to ask what brand their parts would be and they would not guarantee a manufacturer.  Many of the pieces in a few kits I saw from them were Elgin.

I used Performance Suspension in Phoenix.  The build a kit with Moog parts and Energy Suspension poly bushings.  Greta price, great service, no complaints, and they do not mind dealing with an igloo dweller like myself.   Smiley
