    awesome, thanks guys. Figured while I'm switching to my front disc, and have the engine pulled, I would upgrade the front suspension while I was at it. Any thoughts on me keeping manual steering in my 70 grabber? Power steering would be nice, but it isn't a daily driver, and I kind of like that vintage feel.

    Any thoughts or experience with this?

    I recently bought their 68-73 Mustang kit that should fit our Mavericks. I need to get it installed soon. From what I hear, it's a pretty damn good quit and the people there are not idiots when it comes to customer service.

    Nice kit. I like the lifetime warranty. Most kits have the cheap 1 year warranty China stuff. Must be TRW or Moog parts. The shocks and springs will be much stiffer than the stock feel. We put a setup similiar to this on my son's '69 XR7 conv and it was pretty stiff and hard riding in the front. Performed well in curves, though.

    shipping wasnt too bad..maybe $60 to Cal., but like a said, if you get other small parts theyll throw them in for free, they offer just about everything as far as suspension and they use alot of stuff made in America.

    $60 sounds reasonable. I'll definitely bookmark this for later. Thanks(y)
