What is the best front end rebuild kit to go with? PST, perfomance suspension, energy suspension. Does it even matter are they all the same?

Thanks,
Phil

The best "kit" is one you put together yourself. I had to do it that way because I was mixing parts from different generations of cars and upgrading some areas. ('64 Valiant, '74 UCA's and disk knuckles, C-body tie rods, etc).

The parts came from Rock Auto http://www.rockauto.com/ and Summit http://www.summitracing.com/ primarily.

Mancini Racing also has kits, using TRW rubber bushings and parts.

I am not real happy with the PST "kit" for a 66 "A" body. I don't like the ball joint boots, and the strut rod bushing need replacing, after only 5 years on a drag car, that sees limited street usage. Also the don't seem very knowedgeable, if you have a question. I have heard good things about ESPO, but have no personal experiance with them.
