$26 for airfoil sounds good. Replacing you LCA's and panhard with stock parts won't give you any bennefit other than newer bushings. You'd be better off just buying poly bushings for the parts you have.

SLP takes stock parts, boxes them in, and puts in poly bushings. You can do the same yourself, or you can buy theirs. Yes its worth it, but if you want the pay the price, its up to you.

Hmm, well if they replace the bushings with poly and box them in, then its a heck of a deal. Them prices $10 and $7.50 wouldnt cover the 15 minutes of labor for that work.
