better then stock parts.
better then stock parts.
I have to replace a few things for inspection this year. i was going to go with moog parts but i dont know what the difference in handling is from part to part.
I have to replace
all coil springs
tierod ends
ball joints
center link
idler arm
control arm bushings.
lower control arm bushings.
if you guys could explain why moog is better then say pst or the kits they sell on hawks thirdgen thanks.

Re: better then stock parts.
Sounds like you need a new inspector...
Those are all wear parts with exception of the springs, but I highly doubt they all went bad in the course of the year. It might be nice to just do it all at once, but you'll probably save some money if you went through piece by piece to see what's actually bad.
As for using moog problem solver parts I think that has more to do with dubious quality replacement parts. The cost difference isn't that much, and the quality should at least be good as the original parts you're replacing. If they're just the cheapest ones off the shelf you have no idea what you're buying. It's tough to say what quality the other parts are until it's too late and you're replacing them.

Re: better then stock parts.
The car sat for 4 years. and i just had a sticker thrown on it last year.
Im looking to upgrade the handling as well. and i broke the coil spring because of the violence of the tranny
