The only reason I usually go for NOS stuff is that they are/were made here in the USA back in the day. MOOG, TRW were made both here and in Canada and are not NOS obviously, but were/are made with quality materials. That blessing since has changed for the most part and I do not want any off shore junk inferior stuff neither under, on top or in my car if I can help it.
Now that being said, some rubber NOS stuff ( Upper control arm bushings, etc) even though they were made here in the US, have since deteriorated from age in bad environments or shelf life in general and turn up to be no good, so off shore or after market stuff is the only alternative.
Now on the C-body stuff, I see no reason to not take advantage in using a beefier part on a relatively heavy car on NYC streets. The more heavy duty, the less weight on my shoulders about reliability on a daily driver.

My eyes are wide open with this car. Learning a lot from all you guys. Thank you.
