I was talking to one of my buddies that had an 89 t/a did that and he told me it was supremely worth it, it made his front end a lot tighter and resposive, thats why Im gonna do it as soon as I get a job

I just got my PST polygraphite front end kit in last wednesday and am still waiting to put it on. I also went ahead and ordered their inner tie rod ends because the kit does not include them. I also have some hotchkis tie rod adjusting sleeves that I am going to put on with my front end kit. Last week I put KYB GR-2 shocks and struts on all around and new 2002 WS6 rear springs on. When I rebuild my front end I am also going to go ahead and put on either my new suspension techniques 34mm front sway bar or my 36mm ws6 bar(haven't decided yet) and my 24mm ws6 rear bar that I have.

But I am not trying to say that my car is going to handle ten time better than a lot of people's.... or am I. You be the judge. I will let you know.

i order'd the kit the other night with the tie rod ends. gonna wait till i get the rest of the suspension to install it all.
also got on the way lakewood 70/30 front shocks 50/50 shocks rear, pst's coil springs.
still need to order the paracing a-arms with spring perches, sfc, rear control arms and some new torque arms.

I installed their kit on my Z definitely handles better, Ride is not too bad. One thing I do not like though is in cold weather their kit does get noisy at low speeds and over speed bumps it makes a noticable groaning noise. So much for their claims of quiet operation.

The stuff PST sells is Energy Suspension bushings.

The linkage PST includes is a foreign made component.

For your best bet, go with buying the individual pieces- buy energy suspension bushings and moog suspension parts.

http://www.performancesuspension.com will sell a kit with the Moog pieces (Moog's made by Federal Mogul) in them; and I think http://www.spohn.net also sells a similar kit.

Moog is more money but trust me, you don't want to ever have to do this job again.

When I called PST and inquired about the kit the person on the line told me they use Federal Mogul / Moog parts. Thats what I was told by PST.....are they bull sh*ting me?
