i'm thinking of going with the Hotchkis Steering and ball joint rebuild kit from JEGS and their 1 3/8 hollow sway bar and some MOOG upper ball joints, has anyone used that Hotchkis Kit?
 
I used Energy Suspension Poly bushings, Moog ball joints and tie rods and GM sway bars in mine. The stock bar is 1.25 in up front, which should be good enough, plus it's about $10 at the junkyard. I also used the stock GM rear bar, but am planning on upgrading it to a larger aftermarket bar to help me reduce understeer (and make overseer easier...).
 
I Have heard very good things about the Hotchkis suspension components.

I have not seen it installed on a g-body yet but helped my father install a full Hotckis TVS kit on his Chevelle and everything looked to be high quality. All the reviews I have read have been great also. The Chevelle is still being painted so can't give any feedback yet.

Would love to hear from someone who has actually installed it and had some road time.
