First step to restoring my 1974 Duster; Front End rebuild (coilovers needed?)

Would this be a good fit in what I am trying to do?

Edit: Or unnecessary?

Magnum Force is garbage quality, don't buy any of their stuff. QA1 tubular arms wouldn't be a bad idea, iirc @BergmanAutoCraft sells them too.

I thought about going the coilovers route on my Duster, but after some research, I did this front suspension rebuild, but used stock upper control arms with Moog offset bushings, I used the KYB gas adjust shocks as I spent a good bit of money on the the other parts and needed a break. While this setup works great, I think better shocks will make it even better.

Nice, glad those mods worked out for you! I agree on better shocks, I like those KYBs for controlling wheel bounce on trucks and SUVs with high unsprung weight (big heavy wheels and tires and/or heavy live axles) but they're overly stiff and rough-riding on cars. Unless maybe you're running 33" all-terrains on steel wheels lol.
