I need new torsion bars(42 years old .90") and strut rods(bent!).
I'm thinking 1" torsion bars and steel non-adjustable/adjustable strut rods.

Does anyone have som suggesions on where I should buy them? Just Suspension has way better prices than FirmFeel, but they don't respond to my e-mails!

Maybe Mancini? but then I have to settle for .96" bars...

Just Suspenion has the 1" bars on sale. I've noticed they do better with phone calls than they do with email. Same with Mancini.

Mopar performance bars are good as well. All the bars are going to be an upgrade from what you've got, so I would go with the cheapest .96 ones you can find from a name brand.

Firm feel has great parts that fit right. They are Mopar specialists and the quality is high. You can talk to them and they know what they are doing.

I would consider getting aluminum strut rods. I did it - always good to save weight, they look nice, and fit great. Stock strut rods are adjustable as well - i'm not sure the benefit of adjustable strut rods unless your alignment is WAY out of whack - all they do is keep the LCA in place, really.

Get stock strut rod bushings from MOOG that have the steel insert. The aftermarket ones I've seen are 100% poly - I think the steel insert ones fit better.

Just bought the 1" set from Just Suspension. For $160, I don't think I can go wrong.
Also bought a set of steel non-adjustable strut rods, I just don't trust aluminium.

I will also do a little cutting into my poly strut rod bushings (they have a steel insert), so I don't loose so much caster, or push my LCA out.
