TRW or Moog?

I work at Advanced Auto parts and are higher up chassis products is TRW, how do they compare to the Moog products? I need to rebuild the entire front end of the camaro and was just curious what path i should take. here are my options


TRW Inner and outer tie rod ends, idler arm, centerlink, spohn HD tie rod adjusters, ball joints, and eibach pro kit and Bilstein HD struts and shocks price after my discount:$981.22


Sphons front end rebuild kit with the Eibach pro kit and the Bilstein HD struts and shocks. Price:$1117.10


which would you go with?

Save some money, they are the same parts in almost every aspect. FWIW, i used TRW on my front end, better than the OE that was on there (because it was 20 yrs old)

I was under the impression that Federal Mogul made Moog Chasis parts, yet my TRW tie rod ends say Federal Mogul on them.

check federal moguls website you'll see
federal mogul = moog = trw
just like holley = flowtech...

however, spohn supports the boards, and with that in mind his customer service is great. I'd go that route.... just to give money to the right person sorta thing...

a little off topic, but good to see another AAP employee around here. we got 3 3rd gen owners at my store (and there's only 6 of us total at that store).

back to topic. go trw. lifetime warrenty (especially for us ), and pretty much identical to moog. and the discount sweetens the deal.....
