Car Model: 1964 Valiant convertible 225 automatic
I'm ordering parts for my '64 Valiant winter project, which consists of installing an 8-3/4 rear end, upgrading to late-A disc brakes on the front, rebuilding the entire front end and installing a Firmfeel power steering box.

This is not a performance car, so I'm going with stock rebuild parts and rubber bushings, except for poly LCA bushings, only because I need the new shafts and they come with poly bushings installed.

The companies I'm looking to buy from are Rock Auto, ESPO, Inline Tube, Fine LInes, Performance Suspension, Suspension King, and Just Suspension.

Does anyone know if these companies source some or all of their parts from China? I know Rock Auto is okay as long as you order the better lines they offer, but I know nothing about the kits offered by the others.

The price difference for leaf springs from PS and Suspension King is nearly $200, so either the cheap ones are not North American made, or the expensive ones are way overpriced.

I'm also looking for opinions about the best master cylinder to use.
