COMPLETE polygraphite kit???
I just bought new tires, shocks, and struts. I also want to buy a complete master bushing kit. The problem is that from what I'm reading, the so called "master kits" are still missing some rubber?
Also I want to use polygraphite and not polyurathane to avoid squeeks.
Does any company or anyone sell a *REAL* "COMPLETE" master polygraphite suspension kit?
Thanks!
EDIT: I plan on buying Spohn tubular LCAs and A-arms. Do these come with new bushings? Maybe I can save buy only buying all the other polygraphite parts I need? I just don't know enough to know all the parts that I do need Help, lol!

Any poly kit will be missing "some" rubber
But I believe PST sells a complete kit.
I have (mostly, some rod ends, well actually Johnny Joints) polyeurathane and I don't have squeeking issues because I properly lube them during installation, and oil changes. Most people install them without coating every surface with the proper lube. They just bolt it up and then lube. You have to liberally apply synthetic lube (non petroleum based) to every surface of the bushing that touches metal.
You may not want a complete kit. I would read up some more.
And ya, aftermarket LCAs and A arms will come with bushings.

Yes, lubricate properly. Mine sound like a family of mice when the front goes over a bump.
Don't buy a complete kit until you have decided what linkages you are replacing.

Re: COMPLETE polygraphite kit???
I recently got a polygraphite front end kit from PST and it had everything: the front a arm bushings, all the sway bar bushings tie rod ends, and rear shock bushings. I also got the kyb gas-a-just and the gr2s from them because they give u a decent discount if you buy the shocks and rebuild kit at the same time. It all totaled up to under $400 which I thought wasn't bad. My car had all the stock stuff on it before and this kit really woke everything up. It squeaks a little but I can deal with it for the performance it provides.

I've often read that kits provide pieces that you may not need (secondary trans mission mounts, for example) and that buying specific parts may actually save money in the end--especially if you start swapping in after market pieces which already contain bushings.
