    ive seen this kit in another post before and people seemed to have positive opinions on it. im about to do my suspension as well so id actually like to get a complete front and rear kit at one time and from the same supplier. anyone know who else makes good kits??

    Make sure the strut rod bushings aren't poly.

    Thats the same kit I bought about 5 months ago and just now started to put on all the parts. Good kit, every thing is fitting just fine, except the sway bar, it seems like it at a different angle and throwing the mounting bracket about an 1inch off from the frame. I call them and got the numbers off the sway bar and they matched and should work they said. I will try again after I get it all together(y) Also, the strut rod bushings are plain rubber and the upper control arms have been upgraded to a 4 bolt ball joint from the factory 3 bolt.

    Glad to hear you like the kit... makes me feel better.

    I will be curious to hear what you find with the sway bar. Keep us updated on it please.
