Front End Rebuild vs. After Market K-Frame

I agree - you can get a lot done with the stock stuff and good quality rebuilds. Stock parts won't hold you back for drag racing or street cruising. I'd only go for the aftermarket parts if I were trying to take on BMWs in an autocross, swapping in a big block and wanted more clearance, or had some other hardcore application that really needed it. You can get 90% of the results for under 50% of the money if you just add some minor, well chosen parts to a stock front suspension.
