Default Front End Kit

Guys,
I am looking on www.vbandp.com at the front end rebuild kits. Is poly really worth the extra cash? Since I am changing the car from a SB to a BB, what springs and schocks should I get? Also, I've never rebuilt a front end or done any suspension work. My CHILTON manual is kind of vague. Is there a step by step instuction manual I can buy or download? Thanks in advance for the help.

I like rubber but thats just my preference. VBP offers a video for sale if I'm not mistaken that shows you how to rebuild the front end.

Here at Muskegon Brake we can supply you with a great rebuild kit and any technical assistance that you would need. Poly is alot rougher and the best way to go is definitely rubber if you are looking for the best ride.
