Smile Rebuild Front End

I'm Going To Put On A Power Disc Brake Conversion Kit On My Car. At This Time I Want To Rebuild My Front End. I Would Like To Know If Anyone Could Tell Me If I Should Go With The Polygraphite Super Front End Kit Or Go With The Standard Super Front End From P-s-t?
Also Are Kyb Shocks Any Good? My Car Is A Nice Driver. Not A Race Car. Thanks For Your Help.

Question Re: Rebuild Front End

Have You Ever Used This Before? Is It That Much Better ? I Talked To One Man At A Car Show And He Said That They Squeeked Alot. Is This True? I Really Don't Want To Spend 70.00 Dollars More And Have To Listen To My Car Squeek . Can Anyone Help Me On This?

If you do a seach in the suspension forum you will find a lot of useful info on this. I have the PST poly on my 66 and have no squeaks or complaints.

Polygraphite bushings break down prematurely as the graphite is not a compatible chemical to mix with polyurethane. They do however, seem to make less noise.

Is there really any reason to use polyurethane/polygraphite bushings on a driver? That question has probably been asked a thousand times before, but as this thread is on it would be interesting if someone would describe the pros and cons...
