      P-s-t?

      I heard someone say they were overpriced Chinese crap. Any truth to this? I was looking at one of their Chevy kits and I was thinking of buying it, but now I'm having second thoughts. The Nova needs a front end rebuild badly, it clunks and rattles when stopping, turning, and going over bumps, and I don't want polyurethane because I've heard it's impossible to get it quiet.

      Opinions?

      I just got my PST kit and besides the fact they sent me parts for the wrong car they look like quality parts.

      I ran them for years and they worked well. Not cheap at all.

      But there are better solutions out there. Like del-a-lum arm bushings, moog joints and hard parts, energy suspension . . .

      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?

      Have them on my GMC Sonoma and on my old GTO for a while. They were great for me.

      I don't like the way the straight poly stuff sqeaks and squeals. The PST stuff is nice and quiet.

      That's the reason I was planning on going with them. I'd never heard of any issues with PST but when I heard someone mention that, I just wanted to be sure.

      Thanks guys.

      My front end rebuild kit came from Performance suspension components and most, if not all, of the parts included are from energy suspension and moog. the energy suspension pieces are graphite impregnated polyurethane, I assume they are very similar to what P-s-t offers. I don't know who Performance suspension technology uses for their parts though.

      Check into JUST SUSPENSION .. they supplied the stuff for my Fiarlane and I was very happy with the quality and completness of the kit.

      Accoding to them thier ball joints and such are better quality than Moog...

      Good to know. I was afraid they were just a cheap-o company with urethane parts.
