Has anyone on Steves used this suspension rebuild kit from Performance Suspension Technology on a First Gen?

Just wondering what you thought of the quality and performance. The price seems to be reasonable.
Thanks, Ed

I used there stock replacement kit several years ago in my 68. All the parts were there and worked for me. They were way cheaper than the local parts stores.

I used their original front end kit on my 65. Can't beat the price and everything fit like it should have. I would use them again in a heartbeat.:yes: No complaints at all!:D

I used their Poly kit.
I think hard parts were from Brazil or someplace like that.
No real issues.
The brake kit was less than stellar.
I had everything on the front installed and the left front wouldn't bleed.
I found that they forgot to drill one of the holes on the wheel cylinder.

I am not here to bash your choice but I do have to warn you about their upper and lower ball joints. They are crap!! All 4 had to be replaced due to the nut not holding a torque value. I tried to torque them to 60 ft LBS and all 4 nuts stripped out. I tried to inform that company and got some help but they accused me of not being honest and I went and bought quality MOOG products. I highly recommend buying their bushings but not their hardened parts. Go MOOG and you will not be disappointed. The reason its more expensive is because they are quality parts...

I rebuilt the whole underside of mine with their parts. Everything but the ram. All parts fit fine and work fine but the brakes. I put the car in storage about the time the brakes started to not work well and haven't torn it down to find the problem yet. I'll be going to disks anyways when I do. I've used their parts on my 55 as well with no real complaints. Really can't beat it for the price and simplicity of getting everything in one kit.

Thanks all, for your input. I'll also look into the Moog parts. -Ed
