Well heres another debate starter.

I need to order a front end rebuild kit and I've narrowed it down to PST(Performance Suspension Technology) or PSC(Performance Suspension Components).

PST
cheap
from what I've heard used lesser quality parts
uses polygraphite
has mostly what is needed
I see PST in my hot rod mags all the time.

PSC
expensive
uses federal mogul parts
uses polygraphite
has everything but centerlink
Never heard of them till now.

Recommendations.
Is there a different kit from someone else thats around 200.

Got the PSC kit on my 91, and my bro has it on his 82. Good stuff. The plus side on the PSC is its all made in the USA. Federal Mogul make Moog, so their stuff is pretty tough to beat. The PST crap is made in china. Lousy metal quality, poor craftsmenship.

When I rebuilt my front end, PST said they could not guarantee what manufacture parts came with the kit (supplier of the day). I wanted MOOG. Well if you look up Federal Mogul on the web they own TRW and MOOG as well as many other parts manufacturers. Although MOOG makes a better part. I ordered all my MOOG tie rod ends, ball joints, center link and idle arm from Summit and polygraphite bushings from PST. Very expensive this way since you are buying piece meal, I do believe I got a better kit. Don't buy the self lubricating claim on PST's polygraphite tho in the winter my Z sounds like an old farm truck. And I did prelube the bushings when I installed them. I believe you will be as happy with Energy Suspensions stuff or go with del-a-lum from Global West. You can lubricate their control arm bushings but they aren't cheap but are good from what I hear. The rebuild on my Z is awsome the car handles like it's on a rail. PSC I don't know much about them mabye some one else can chime in.

yeah I remeber reading about it before I posted this. I ordered the front end rebuild from PST along with inner tie rods, a center link, and a idler arm. I'm happy with the parts but unhappy about all the work to get the old ones out and prep I did with rust converter and painting everything. It was a pain but I also wanted everything to look good to as well as add some more life to the metal parts. It will look awesome when its all put back together. I just wish they had clear rims and tires to show it all off but I guess it will be one of those things that only I will appreciate.
