Anyone with PST suspension experience?
I have decided to just rebuild the suspension on my 1968 Plymouth Satellite. Does anyone have any experience PST suspension components? I am looking at their GMax torsion bars, leaf springs, anti-swaybars, and their Super Polygraphite rebuild kits.

We`ve used quite a bit of their stuff in our shop over the years. The bushings usually fit/work okay although they have...squeak...the normal...squeak...poly bushing...squeak...issues. A few customers provided PST springs which seemed fine. Who knows what the rates are etc. but they fit and functioned okay and drop springs yielded roughly the advertised drop. Their swaybars are okay too but the hardware is a little cheesy. We generally replace rear end links right off the bat because they bend and are usually the wrong length. We also replace the grade nothing hardware with at least Grade 5. I`d steer clear of the steering part and ball joints. They`re cheap but we`ve replaced ones that were loose only a year or two after we put them in. Wayne Due stopped using them after he dropped a PST ball joint on the floor and the stud broke off!

Sway Bars - used... front bars ok - rear bars are a little "hooftie"
torsion bars - didnt use... they wouldnt give me rates so i didnt buy... used MP pieces

Used them in a few Chevys (including mine). They need to be lubed liberally on installation and spray silicone every 6 months or so to keep the noise down.

Do you still believe in all the things that you stood by before? Are you out there on the front lines, or at home keeping score?
Do you care to be the layer of the bricks that seal your fate? Would you rather be the architect of what we might create?

We used them on my dad's '56 vert. They squeaked, so drilled and installed zerk fittings. The grease may eat the bushings in time (though it's been 4 or 5 years) but the squeaks are gone!!
