Default Best $1,000 Suspension package

I am planning on spend $1,000 on the suspension here in about a month; after Uncle Sam gives me the refund. I have my eye on the $999 package from MADVette, wondering if it is as good of a package as others / good price / is there anything better?

Thanks!

What are you thinking? Tie rod ends, bushings, ball joints, and the whole deal, or just springs and bars?

Blistein Shocks
New Sway Bars
Composite rear spring
New coil springs

Looks like VB&P has a kit for $899 that looks good... boy these things sure are expen$ive for what you get, though.

My winter project is poly bushings all around and replace the shocks / springs / sway bars. I've got a lot of work cut out for me, thats for sure. Oh yeah, true duals w/ delta 40 flows too. :crazy: :crazy: :crazy:

I bought the kit that you described above on the forum group purchase awhile back, but added the smart struts as well. I have yet to install the kit though. :cool: No hurry I guess, spring is still a long ways off.

I saw that group purchase and never participated. I didn't have the whole winter project thing figured out then. :crazy: :crazy:

Give VB&P a call - speak to Brian. Maybe it's not to late :)
