You can't buy a kit. You can order all the stuff seperate from your local parts house. Moog is the stuff Nascar uses. The same technology that they use for nascar is applied to the part you can buy locally. They typically redesign every part to out perform the factory parts. I like their line of"Problem Solver" suspension service parts. They take known high fail parts and redesign them to actually last a fair amount of time. Example ball joints on most domestic trucks are very common for wearing out premature. I have seen Ford,Dodge,Chevy truck's Balljoints wear out in as little as 20k miles. That is pretty sad. The rubber boots don't dry up and rot off either like a lot of the "white box" cheapie front end parts. I highly recommend this part brand for longevity,durabilty, fit, and tight feel. Expect to pay about double the cost of the cheapie stuff. Just remember it's worth it if you got to do it twice.
http://www.rockauto.com This site has a real nice Java catalog and some of the lowest prices to be found. I have rebuilt the front suspension on 3 cars with parts from here. Good prices, VERY FAST service and great customer service. (No, I don't work for them.) I have used the Problem Solver replacement upper a-arm bushing set. This replaces the metal on metal upper bushing with a rubber bushing similar to Brand-X cars. Elliminates squeaks and removes some of the harse noise from the front suspension. Also purchased brake rotors, calipers, pads, disc/drum master cylinder, bearings, seals, etc. Very good selection of parts.

My Comet has a PST poly kit in it.It handles MUCH better than stock,but the front squeaks more now than it did w/old worn out factory stuff.Got about 9,000 miles on it.I'll probably put back rubber bushed stuff back in when I do the disc swap.
