    I have bought two kits from these guy, one for my 70 mav and one for my 73 comet and they seem to work fine. Both cars aligned good and the comet handles good and tight on the road (the mav is not on the road yet). I think it is a good kit for the money.

    Yes, I saw that. I was reffering to opinions on experience in actual use.

    just make sure you get what is in the photo... i like MOOG but the last set of lower control arm i order from them they lower ball joint was pressed in with tack welds with only two tacks at that.... :X scarry if you ask me.

    that is the same place I got my kit from same set up.. Bolted up real nice no problems. took the alignment smooth and my car now flys straight as an arrow.. I would recommend that kit to anyone...No real squeak that I have noticed..I replaced all my shocks at the same time.. I now love to drive the mav fast, not scared that I will leave the road on me...All they need when you order is dia. of the sway bar and they ship quick...

    What is the correct diameter of the sway bar?

    But anyway, Laurel Mountain has good stuff :cool:

    I used PST polygraphite's kit for my maverick and it works great.
    keeps the front end alligned real well.

    and no squeaks!!!

    I was told they could be diferent dia. just take an open end wrench and see what size fits over sway bar...These are questions you need to have answers for when ordering trying to save you time...
