It seems tempting. How would you guys consider the price?
My 91 T/A's front end is make all sorts of creaks and groans, especially when turning... and it feels a little floaty and unfocused on the road. Plus these parts looks awful with the rust and everything on the car right now. What are your thoughts? And if not this kit, what others would you recommend? Thanks!

Sometimes cheap is, well, just cheap. On the other hand, I have no experience with those particular parts (hopefully, someone who's intalled it will chime in). I purchased separates from RockAuto. Spohn offers a kit, albeit at more expense.

1A no doubt offers a kit as well. http://www.1aauto.com/

heres how i see it.
the metal parts are metal parts, and unless the metal used in the ebay stuff is VASTLY inferior to stock parts, it wont matter.
the only real "problem" would be with the ball joints, endlinks, and toe adjusters.
i would probably buy the kit just to get new parts under there, and then upgrade the adjusters to spohn extreme duty ones, and put new swaybar end links on.
when it comes time for new balljoints, get proven good ones, but those should be fine for a while IMO

 

I doubt any of those parts would fail right away but they will likely wear much faster than Moog or other quality parts.

If you intend to drive the car as god intended dont skimp, even if you just want to throw some DUB's on it and cruise dont scimp, hard driving, big wheels/tires and eftermarket suspension are all very hard on the balljoints bushings and steering linkage.

 

Hmm... Yeah I do plan on driving this car as God intended. It's gonna be my DD during the spring and summer (except for probably rainy/stormy days), which are actually almost here in CT. I just sent a message to the ebay seller asking where these parts are produced. If its China, then forget about it. But judging by the "no name," they probably are. I might just spend a few extra bucks on the trusted brands.

 

I would rather have a lifetime warranty from a local auto parts store. aka NAPA
