I used one of their kits 15 years ago and was happy with it.

I have also heard some horror-stories of crappy quality balljoints and tie rod ends. One guy claimed to have dropped a balljoint and the stud broke off... it was on the internet, so it must be true.

I got a complete kit from them around 98 or 99, which included poly bushings as well, and a bigger sway bar for the front. I put quite a few miles on the car before I took it off the road in 06 and really didnt have any complaints. I was working as a tech in the field and the PST parts really werent any different then the typical service grade auto parts store stuff. If I were to do it now, I would probably compare making my own kit from a source like Rock Auto instead, might even come close in price to the higher grade parts like Moog and Dana/Spicer.

I have only rebuilt 2 front ends, both were PST kits. Everything seemed to fit well, and while I don't put it to track level stresses, I don't baby my cars either. Both kits were complete including inners, outers, ball joints, I'm thinking even pitman (Pittman?) and idler arms. You pressed in the front control arm stuff back in 2001/2002 or so.
