My winter project is disc brake conversion (mp brakes) new oem springs, edelbrock ias shocks, and pst front end super kit (polyurethane bushings.
My question is should I also replace the front sway bar and the center link? I thought about Global west upper and lower control arms but they are a little much for what I have to spend now, or should I save alittle more and do them also. I have never sone anything this involved but all you experts seem to say it is a doable thing.
I appreciate any help you guys can give me.
thanx

Centerlink depends, is it worn. Jack it up and see if you can feel in slop in the joints, be carefull, don't want the car coming down on you.
Sway bar and control arms? Why, what is your goal? I'm sure there are lots of guys that will tell you how good the Global West arms are. Still are you trying to get something different than the stock ride and handling back. Guess what I'm saying is don't just do it because someone else did. Ask again with more specifics, what you're trying to accomplish.

A least do the front sway bar 1 1/8" sell for about $30.00 in a junk yard.
