I'm finally ready to put 'er on wheels. Who makes the best, reliable suspension kits? I need everything new, front and rear. I saw the $5,000 + kitt on just suspension's site, DAMMMM. I have my spindels, control arms ect. Need new bushings, bumpers, strut's, leafs, shackels, nut's bolts, bracket's. I have all of the old stuff but it get's confusing as to what is OK to re-use and what's not. Should I re-use the center link and outer tie rod's? What about the pittman arm and idler arm? New or re-use? I need some guidence. Thanks for the post and to who responds. See ya.
Chris

well there are a lot of suspension places you can get things from like Just suspension, summit, jegs, xvmotorsports, polygraphite performance, but most of them only have a few parts or one company is way more expensive than the others and has ALMOST a full kit. I just redid my whole suspension on my 70'cuda and I got a whole kit from Mancini Racing for like $1,300 but, that was mainly for the bushing tie rod ends and a few other things that I upgraded. The big thing you need to look at is what you are really going to use the car for....street, street/strip, weekend fun...... and also how big your wallet is. Dr. Diff makes a nice set-up also for the rear suspension if you want to put a 10" rim on the back but don't want to have to do a mini tub or move the perches on the rearend or cut your frame. He has offset shackles that make it nice. I don't know if you can go to an advance auto parts and check or napa to see if you can get the bushings you would like but, the kit I got from mancini racing was all moog. It would be worth a shot. Hope this helps I'm just a young guy starting out doing this on my own.
