a reasonable poly susp kit.

I am now in the market to getting my suspension(84 GSLSE) up to par, as im not going to be able to get my ride on the road while its nice out so i will just do the suspension one time with my bodywork.

I found this:
http://mrcmfg.com/catalog/product_in...roducts_id=153 (respeed.$155.00) Is this the avaerage price for these kits? Also is there a difference in performance between the Red Vs Black bushings? To wait 2-3wks for red ones is a stretch, I want red though .

Is there another place to get the kit other than respeed or energysuspension.com?

Get them from Re-Speed. They aren't going to be any cheaper anywhere else and Re-Speed is one of the few companies directly involved with the first gen community. As you can see by all the parts available on their website, they have spent a ton of time on R&D for parts that we all want and no one else offers.

Where in NC are you located? Re-Speed is the place. Billy is a great guy and knows his stuff. I am installing the rear end poly kit today. The fronts are easy and the rears are a bit more effort. I can help you out if you are nearby Charlotte area

Re speed all the way http://mrcmfg.com/catalog/

Remember to use stock bushings were indicated and poly every where else.

if your planning to upgrade your suspension, go full poly everywhere, if you staying stock, then use the special kit RE-Speed has.
