Hey gang.. As I've notice over the last couple of years, front suspension kits are getting rather pricey. Anyone with good experience on complete front suspension kits for our b-bodies? I'm looking to dive into the Daytona this Fall..

Thanks in advance..

I use Moog ( nearly exclusivly ) parts bought locally, and typically less cost than buying off the net as an example

I have used TRW parts , and sometimes Spicer parts depending on what I need at the time

After a few poor results using some of the so called low cost suspension parts suppliers with less than desireable outcomes.

I bought a complete front end kit for my car, because it had 160,000 miles on it. However, once I started taking the suspension apart, it turned out I really only needed about half the parts. Acording to the shop service manual, the lower ball joints should not be replaced unless up/down movement is greater than 0.070". Mine was about half that.

Next time I will buy only as needed, not a complete kit.

WHat about the ball joint and tie rod end boots? Ive heard some crazy prices on these before and it was cheaper to buy the whole thing instead of the joint.
