Suspention...?
Hey Folks...
I was gonna be putting on some new steering components and suspention on my 1983 Firebird SE. I was gonna install new ball joints, new tie rod ends, and was looking at some Gas Ryder struts and shocks. I only have a few hundred bucks to do it all up, so I was wondering if anyone knows if this supention is any good or not....
If anyone knows or has any reccomendations on some decent suspention under 2 and a half bills any help would be appriciated.
Thanks

Napa, Autozone, Advance. Not good for raceing but will make great upgrade tothe worn out peices. You whould be able to get these well under the 2 bills. But you should really replace the bushings and strut mount for a full front end rebuild.
Most of my front end is NAPA, and Advance but I haven't had any problems out of them. I have the gas rider struts, and grabel mounts. The only problem I have had is my idler arm needs replaced again, but I had replaced that well before the other parts, its just alittle lose but I am putting in all new bushings so I want it real tight.
