Default Opinions on PST??? (Perf. Susp. Techn.)

Heard good things about Moog susp. parts--- I want/ need but can't afford the whole kit for front end steering/suspension, but I just heard about pst, they are a lot cheaper, and I got free labor from a buddy of mine to take advantage of.
Anyone know of them????


Here are links to what I would buy: http://www.p-s-t.com/pc-3785-30-chev...o-1967-81.aspx

Summit sells Energy Systems kits for $169, and ball joints separately for around $20 ea. You could get a great system for around $250.

Default Poly vs rubber

Is polygraphite or polyurethane actually better than rubber in terms of driving performance? I know they last longer, but is it a big step up in handling?

I am sold on pst. I have installed their complete front end products in a Chevelle and a Camaro. On the Camaro I also bought the 2" drop spindles because I wanted the better geometry than by purchasing the drop coil springs. I installed new oem springs and 17" wheels. Unfortunately, after driving the car for a month the front end has settled so much that the tires rub on the inner fenders. I would stick with the drop coil springs rather than going with the drop spindles if you are looking to lower the front end.

New vs. new it's a tiny difference, but years down the road the poly stuff will still be great, and rubber will degrade. One downside is the poly sometimes squeaks after it's been in for awhile.
