I ordered my spindles and rear springs, should be here tomorrow. I am thinking of upgrading the sways while Im at it. Been checking them out and here is what I got

 

Spohn $329

1 5/16 front tube

1 rear solid

 

BMR $309

1 1/8 front tube

1 1/2 rear solid

 

Hotchkis Sport $399

1 3/8 front tube

1 rear solid

 

UMI $329

1 1/4 front solid

1 rear solid

 

there were other places, but all seemed similar to these and prices were the same. I was leaning towards Spohn or UMI because I have some of their stuff already.

 

Any suggestions?

 

right now I have...

 

2" spindles

Hotchkis rear coils 1.5"

UMI rear lower arms

Spohn rear upper arms

Energy Suspension poly bushings throughout

hr parts n stuff makes a amazing swaybar. spudmanmike has one and i believe he's very happy with it.

poly is nice but too noisy for my liking. i think you can get greasable bushings? did you look in to a set of metco control arms? they make a amazing product and the prices are reasonable. i dont know how they are for handleing though. might want to call them rick and kristy (friends of the nymcc actually) are amazingly nice people.

I'll make some calls on that, JY prices here are much higher than up by you guys. Not only do we pay a premium on the parts, but we have to cover the costs of the guy to go get them (no pick a parts here)

 

Prices are usually on par if not a bit higher than buying on ebay (including shipping)
