Looking to replace the complete suspension
Hey guys, I have a 1980 automatic spider that I am restoring. Really I'm just replacing everything on the car. Right now I'm looking to replace the whole suspension. Anyone know of any good kits? Or just any good suggestions? I'm looking to spend from around $400 to $1000 on the whole thing. I don't know if it matters or not to the suspension but I will be throwing on possible the prima brakes from vicks auto. Thanks

Do yourself a favor and search "prima brakes" and "Vicks" on this forum and read everything you can. Just saying...

As far as I know we are the only vendor that sell a-arms with the OE grade rubber bushings. The bushings that come in the new a-arms are junk, so we replace them with the OE grade ones we also sell individually.

Whatever you can't get from Allison's or Auto Ricambi is going be real short list.

Due to recent budget cuts and the rising cost of electricity, gas, and oil, we have decided to turn off the light at the end of the tunnel. We apologize for any inconvenience.

I am near the end of my complete suspension rebuild and I got everything, literally everything from AutoRicambi with no fit issues.

Allison or AR will have the brakes you want too.
