I need to freshen up my front end suspension. Anyone have good/bad luck with aftermarket suspension parts (ie. magna, TCP ...)

I too am rebuilding the front end on my wifes Mach 1. I am on the verge of ordering a complete kit from PST. After market stuff. Yesterday I priced the pieces individually at the local parts stores. They didnt come close to the kit prices. All the locals had was OEM quality for bushings, and from what I understand, they get mushy & deteriorate. Then the Polyurethane, squeeks after a couple of years... I think I am going with the Polygraphite. Supposed to be superior and NEVER SQUEEK. I will replace the coils, shocks and tires as well. I read about lowering the upper control arms for better cornering. I have the templates and will make that modification. Easy to do at this time. This works on 1965-70 and should help the little lady stay on the pavement when she gets to showin' off.
Has anyone made this modification? I hope it works out. Any thoughts????

I would order the poly kit from pst it is a good price for good parts I am redoing my 70 mach again I am going to a coil over front suspension to road race but the pst kit is a very good street/mild performance setup If you can weld and have acces to a welder I would box your upper and lower control arms the uppers flex quite a bit with the stock spring placements and the lowers are just for piece of mind.
