What are some good websites/companies that cater to aftermarket suspensions???
Here's the most I got. Please feel free to add , if you know better prices or either another company.
MAC catalog- $135 SFC (tubular/gloss black)
- $80 Panhard bar (red)
- $160 Rear Control Arms (red)
Jegs - $180 STB (Hotchkis red)
... Basically , i know there is spohn. But his prices seem rather steep. Yeah, i definitely have read about quality. but I don't think his sfcs are worth 60 dollars more than the macs, that come painted.
Also, want to try to get the very cheapest price on the hotchkis STB. but the only place i've even seen it was Jegs.
THis is more than price/quality reference system. As i don't know all the sites nor their prices. I plan on doing a suspension over haul to the 91z. so just getting as info as possible.
thanx

There's also South Side Machineworks (SSM), Lakewood, and a few other companies that aren't coming to mind at the moment.
I'm going with all Spohn parts. They are very high quality and handmade, not made in a production line like some of the others. Also on the SFC's, whether they're painted or not doesn't matter, you're going to have to take the paint off to weld them in anyways.

That's true, but I figure if I'm going to have to paint the welds I might as well paint the rest of it while I'm at it. Plus it saves some money which is important to a poor college student.
