Default Front end suspension kit

I have been looking for a front end suspension kit and they're alot of different kits out there. They are all about the same price. Who has the best kit? any feedback would be appreciated.

Before you order anyone's kit, call them and ask what brand the parts are. lately more than a few forum members have been installing Chinese crap parts on their cars because the vendors are selling them in their kits. They save a few bucks that way and we end up installing a ball joint that won't last 5K miles.

VB&P has good stuff, and they're very knowledgeable. Give them a call, tell them what kind of driving you want to do, and they'll hook you up.

I feel I got a good deal and a good kit when I got my kit through Zip's. It was not too expensive, arrived fast, included everything I needed and was all Moog brand. I was VERY happy not too mention everything was good and tight and fit like a glove.
