I replaced all of my front suspension with PST bushings and components. I am very satisfied with the results, and installation was not difficult at all.

I had a very bad experience with them. I ordered their complete rebuild kit and the the tie rods did not last even six months.
When I got bought new tie rods the ones they sold me were obviously alot smaller and whimpy looking. This was the first time I seen a tie rod break off! I didnt even want to attempt a warranty because I didnt want another piece of crap. This was back in 97 so things might of changed. I would go with PST and stay away from PSC.

PSC and PST are two different companies that both make front end kits. I'm surprised you had a bad experience with PSC. They use all American made parts in their kits, while PST uses Taiwanese parts. I'm going with PSC in the future.

PSC- I ordered my kit from them, along with some extras. Top notch stuff and excellent customer service.

PST- A buddy went with their kit, a dissappointment compared to PSC.

You get what you pay for.

Thanks guys, your input helped alot. Ordered my PSC front-end rebuild kit today, along with a strut tower brace from 86irocL98. Hopefully they will tighten up my Camaro for some serious high speed rolling. Peace
