I need to purchase a suspension kit.
I'll probably go Polygraphite.
I am on a budget so I need to find the cheapest place.

I know about PST but that's about the only place that I know of.I have read about them not using all Moog parts so if I chose them it will only be for the Poly bushings.

Any suggestions on other places to try?
I need options people.
If you can leave a link...PLEASE

I have heard a lot about poly squeaking after a while.Has the newer Polygraphite bushings cured that?

I have heard of installing a zerk and greasing,but I thought you weren't supposed to do grease poly.

:confused: What's up with that???

Well don't everyone speak at once tongue.gif
It's a 1979 ElCamino.
I'm setting up the rear with Polygraphite to reduce unwanted flex.

Should I also go for polygraghite swaybar bushings?

I do drive it on the street with some Bracket Racing thrown in so I am not going to use any aluminum bushings.

Are you talking about the front swaybar bushings?
A lot of guys who race don't even use a front swaybar because it will improve your launch.

I found that by the time that I bought all the extras that didn't come in the kit like the upper inner shaft I ended up spending more than a complete kit.

I am only going to use the Polygraphite in the rear to reduce flex.I think the front would be better off with bubber to let it move freely and transfur weight.

I was thinking about leaving the stock front swaybar and using poly bushings on it to limit front end rise.
This may lower the cars reaction time.

I will only run mid 12's.I didn't have any problems at all when I ran 13.01.It even hooked well on the street with slicks.

I could be wrong though smile.gif

Anyone else have a place to suggest???
